Cruess 2019 Fiano   

2019 Cruess Fiano, Bolland Vineyard, Russian River Valley

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 93 Points

There is a background impression of creaminess to this wine’s complex aromas of apple, quince, golden berry, greengage plum, kumquat marmalade, peach butter and vanilla. It proves rich in texture yet surprisingly dry on the palate, where bittersweet apple skin and apricot pit flavors move to center stage. The finish proves as lingering and flavor-packed as the aromas promise, and the combination of richness and balance should make it a versatile dinner companion. Fermented with full skin contact, 300 cases produced.
