Colombia Auction Lot: El Nogal
Complex aromatics of yellow flowers, sweet herbs and lemon drops transform into notes of Rainier cherry and cantaloupe in the cup. When you least expect it, the acidity bursts forth with Meyer lemon and clementine orange. The finish is cheerfully tart and leaves behind hints of passion fruit and fresh licorice root.
