Another year in competition, another Platinum award. Here is last year’s review, and I can vouch that the wine continues to improve: For all that Navarro does exceedingly well, this is the variety that they are most known for, and this is a special bottling featuring fruit from the “Deep End” of the valley, where things can get a little bit riper while still holding on to coastal acidity. White flowers, lychee, tangerine, vibrant spice – it’s all here in spades. Jim Klein and the team have this down! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
