"Vineyard blending is becoming a lost art in the ultra-premium sector of California winemaking. Globally, many of the most respected and decorated winemakers covet the art of component blending and consider it an essential tool in crafting the very best and most complete cuvees. In this wine, clones 76 and 95 (from Floodgate Vineyard) contribute tremendous bright acidity, crisp citrus fruit and a lean stature, while Clone 4 (Westside Farms) fills out the mid-palate with complimenting notes of honey and fresh-cut pear." -Winery
