2008 Sweet Caroline
Late Harvest Trousseau gris
Fanucchi Vineyard, Wood Road, Russian River Valley
Varietal 100% Trousseau gris
Winemaker's Tasting Notes Pale peach-blush color, lovely nose of honeyed pears and white peaches, delicately floral with a touch of mineral, mint and yuzu grapefruit. Sweet in mouth but not cloying or heavy—very crisply balanced with acidity and long-lasting peachy fruit finish.
