  • Nose:

    Spring water, rich minerality, green onion and some bright fruit - namely kiwi and melon. Salinity, soapstone, confectioners sugar shines effortlessly through the palate.

  • Taste:

    Medium mouth feel on the palate - rich and buttery texture. Vanilla bean, faint sour fruits, green apple, green onion, faint earth and a touch of soil. Faint ash grows the longer it rests on the palate. Buttery is an excellent descriptor for the sensation on the palate.

  • Finish:

    Long, sweet, ashy and a dash of fruit. A little more savory, earthy, faintly herbacious compared to many other pechugas Ive had, but this expression still packs tons of flavor into the experience.

  • Overall:

    Delightful, fun, interesting. Super fruity, sweet and effervescent.
