A worthy steward of the variety, winemaker Christian Roguenant sources this wine from two lesser known sites in Edna Valley – Jespersen Ranch and Morro View Vineyard in equal parts. The result is as invigorating as the sea breezes that blow through each site regularly, bathing the fruit in cool and keeping acid levels up through maturation. This is about bright citrus, stony minerality and refreshing acidity playing off of each other from beginning to end. Drink on!
