Scribe Winery is conveniently located between Sonoma and Napa and they make a range of traditional and more obscure wines. I would argue that Sylvaner is on the obscure side. It is a white grape most known for its use in Alsace in northeast France. Scribe makes this wine in a bone dry style and it pegs-in at 11% alcohol by volume. It is refreshing and crisp, with notes recalling melons and green apples. Scribe’s high quality wines are well worth seeking out.
