Aromas of citrus fruits, tropical floral notes, honey and a touch of mint. Flavors of pear and tropical fruits fill the palate, with a soft round vanilla presence that finishes with some lemon notes. This vintage we added a new barrel to the mix that gives the wine more roundness in the mouth and a slightly more enhanced vanilla flavor than in previous vintages, without being excessive.

This vintage Piner Ranch has aromas of dark cherry, plum with maple syrup and vanilla essences. Structured flavors of black cherry, plum, caramelized sugars and chocolate flood the palate.
