This wine is opulent, with aromas of ripe white peach, grilled pineapple, toasty oak, orange zest and mineral on the nose.
The flavors on the palate are apple, pear and caramel interwoven with clove, gravelly rock, tangerine and a dry, long finish.

Description
At elevations peaking at 2,300 feet, Shannon Ridge's organically farmed vineyards offer distinctive mountain fruit with both intensity and elegance. Volcanic soils, intense sun exposure, and temperature variations result in complex, balanced, full-bodied wines.
High Valley fruit adds lively citrus flavours and bright acidity, grapes from Red Hills contribute generous, ripe fruit character balanced by the grassiness and mineral tones of fruit from Big Valley.
