An elegant nose of white flowers, Meyer lemon and sweet lime draw you in to a tart palate with just enough residual sugar to tame the acidity and make a very pleasing wine. There’s no palate scouring feel here, just lively flavor and lingering retro-nasal florals. This region is doing great things, and more so all the time. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
