At peak: Best balance of freshness and complexity from late 2023 through 2025.

Structure

Acidity

High, crisp and refreshing

Tannins

None (white wine; no skin contact)

Alcohol

Moderate (typically 13-13.5%)

Aging potential

Short to medium; best consumed young for freshness but will hold 2-3 additional years

Drinking window

Peak drinking

2024 to 2025

Optimal window

2023 to 2026

Current status

Drinking well, very youthful and vibrant.

Current condition

Primary fruit expression with lively acidity. Ideal for immediate enjoyment, but can age a further 1-3 years for subtle development.

Cold concrete fermentation preserves varietal purity and freshness, while the Dollarhide Vineyard's elevation contributes vibrant acidity. This site-specific style is best appreciated within three years of vintage; it begins to lose its signature energy and fruit intensity if cellared too long.

Food pairing

Ideal with oysters, Dungeness crab, ceviche, goat cheese, fresh salads, or grilled asparagus. Also pairs beautifully with Thai and Vietnamese cuisine.

Serving

Decant

Not required
