The Bacigalupi Vineyard is a famous site (see 1976 Paris Tasting among other accolades) that never seems to disappoint. This 2021 example keeps things bright throughout, with fresh apple, easy spice, a little pear and a zesty finish that keeps the flavor pumping with complexity and push. It is likely to sell out in a hurry, so pull that trigger.
