Nutty and ripe on the nose, with ample oak spice, it spends 14 months in 37% new French oak, a blend of clones including California heritage site, Wente and Hyde. Ripe bruised apples on the nose, hints of vanilla and a touch of lemon curd. Racked and inoculated in a barrel, the focus here is on oak flavours, baked apple and full malo.
