This limited-release vintage combines rich complexity with elegant balance, earning critical acclaim including a stellar 96 points from Jeb Dunnuck and 93 points from Wine Advocate.

Bursting with layered aromas of ripe pear, pineapple, and toasted grain, this wine unfolds into a full-bodied palate marked by honeyed toast, stone fruits, and subtle spice nuances.
