"Hailing from the cool Sonoma Coast appellation, the 2022 vintage showcases pale straw in the glass and opens with aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and honeysuckle. Alluring flavors of Honeycrisp apple and Asian pear are balanced by a flinty minerality and creamy texture on the mid-palate. A vibrant acidity accented by flaky sea salt provides tension and length that drives a lingering finish with notes of tangerine and guava." —winemaker

"Fruit is front and center on the nose, with pear, yellow citrus, and foretelling complexity hints of rambutan, apricot, and toasted hazelnut aromas. The palate is signature ROCO juiciness, with persimmon, honey crisp, nashi pear, and a citrus flavor reminiscent of Amalfi Coast lemon or Sicilian lemon gelato. Creamy textured middle leads to a very long finish." —winemaker

"Brilliant straw color with silver highlights at the rim. The wine is aromatic with notes of yellow apple, nearly ripe peach, fresh pear, and wet stone. On the richly balanced palate, ripe apple and pear notes give way to riper tropical fruits of mango and pineapple, filling out the midpalate. As the finish approaches, vanilla, toasted almond, and baking spice enter with light herbal notes and refreshing acidity that invites another sip." —winemaker
