TASTING NOTE
Named after the Latin word for incomparable or unprecedented, this vintage of Unicus has expressive aromas of lemongrass and pink grapefruit with cantaloupe and honeycomb. Produced from a small parcel on Margaret's Bench vineyard, this displays a well-textured palate, contrasting weightiness with bright acidity. The rich flavors linger with notes of lemon custard, orange peel, and Marcone almonds.
