Golden straw colored, full bodied, full round forward fruit flavors that the winemakers cites as “powerful notes of white peach, red apple skin, and toasted brioche” , with notes of what Wine Spectator describes as “melon, peach and nectarine notes on a sleek and juicy frame, with accents of lemon blossom, dried ginger and apple skin.”
Retail $60. Big. Ass. Bottle. Under cork. There are few that would agree with the statement that the Pisoni family is California Wine royalty and all of the Lucia wines I have tried from the family have been stellar, and this one is no exception. But the bottle is beyond stupidly heavy. The wine is fantastically good, though: yellow straw in the glass with loads of fruit (pear, peach, tangerine) on the nose along with vanilla, candle wax, and subtle oak. The palate is truly fantastic with great balance--the fruit is certainly at the forefront, but the tartness does a nice job keeping the fruit in check. Nice weight and multi-layered, this is very nice.

Medium straw. Good mouthfeel, flavors of citrus, peach and stone. Well integrated, nice balance, very enjoyable.

14.1% abv. Pale straw, very aromatic. Very tasty, great depth and energy. Just off the truck, but already singing. Great effort!
