Dog Point Vineyard

Product Code: DP40ZZWC

Tasting Notes

Pale straw. Pure and bright aroma perfume with aromatics of grapefruit and white peach. Subtle smoke and gravelly tones layered over this create a complexity beyond the immediate fruit profile. Palate Juicy, plush, white fleshed fruit pour across the palate with a refreshing and defined acidity balancing the sunny fruit profile, finishing clean and dry.
