Aromas of lemon flower and green melon leap from the glass, followed by a sweet tangerine rind and cereal note that's exotic and intriguing. On the palate, an apricot pulp and granny-smith apple mingles with a stone-fruit minerality that is demanding of your attention. The wine is light on it's feet, but generates a certain amount of power and tension that has become the calling card for every vintage of Affinites. The mid-palate is broad and expanding, while a clean line of acidity carries through a clean, bright finish.
