A beautiful wine, fresh and clean as a daisy, with crisp Central Coast acidity framing flavors of citrus, pear, gardenia flower, mineral and dusty spice. Great as a cocktail sipper, or with almost anything that calls for a dry white.——S.H.(9/1/2009)—— 87

The vineyard is in the cool Edna Valley, and in this cool vintage, this wine has lots of bright, crunchy acidity. It’s also bone dry. The flavors, of lemon, lime and tangerine zest, are accented with vanilla, toasted coconut and pepper-cinnamon. Clean and vibrant, this is ideal as a cocktail wine, or try with butternut squash soup with cilantro and creme fraiche.——S.H.(12/15/2007)—— 88
