2015 DeSante The Old Vines

Estate: DeSante Wines

Region: Napa Valley, North Coast, California, United States of America



Tasting Note:October 8, 2017

Medium pale yellow in color. Vibrant and expressive nose with layers of apples, pears, a bit creamy and citrus. Crisp and tangy acidity (7.5/10) with a light plus to medium body. The mouthwatering acidity carries through the flavors on the palate with lemon and lime zest, some tropical notes and a touch of oak influence. Solid minerality in the long and lingering finish.


White field blend made from 50+ year old vines in Napa Valley. Only five barrels produced.
