Made from an unusual blend of Roussanne, Malvasia Bianca and Viognier, with the grapes grown in the Santa Maria and Santa Ynez valleys of Santa Barbara. The wine is strongly flavored, offering waves of apricot jam, lychee, pineapples and honey, with a very long, spicy finish. Dazzles for its depth and power. Almost sweet, but the finish turns dry and clean, with a flourish of acidity. ——S.H.(2/1/2011)—— 93
