Aridus, Arizona Malvasia Bianca 2023 ($40)

Wine label

The aromatic profile on display here will have growers thinking that they should be looking into buying Arizona land. Vibrant apricot aromas kick things off with notes of white flowers and Meyer lemon joining in. Made in an off-dry style, it’s got a ton of stone fruit and sweet citrus flavor going for it, and it finishes crisp and clean with an apricot impression lingering. You can turn up the spice level on the Thai food when pairing this – it will tame the heat and keep you coming back for more.
