IDLEWILD WINES Cortese 'Fox Hill Vineyard' 2012

This is a fantastic example of how good Cortese can be in California. It opens with pretty aromas of pear compote, fresh mineral, white flowers, apple, crushed almond, honey, lavender and fennel seed. This is incredibly balanced and precise, with pure fruit cascading through the wine. It has wonderful texture and is flat-out delicious. Sam and Jessica Bilbro have done an exceptional job with this wine in 2012. (Best 2014-2020) - July, 2014 - (MD)
