Arietta On the White Keys 2015
Shows an abundance of honeysuckle, orange blossom, and subtle toastiness on the nose. The palate is clean and refreshing, offering plenty of honeyed fruit, orange marmalade, Meyer lemon and bright minerality that finishes with power and complexity. This is delicious now and will continue to drink well over the next 2-3 years.
