A well grown and smartly styled Sauvignon Blanc, this shows plenty of varietal character. It is bright and refreshing, but without an acidic edge that will be too tart for almost anyone. Medium-bodied with flavors recalling melons and citrus fruits, this will prove broadly popular and successful with many foods.
Red fruit notes recalling cranberries and pie cherries are bright and flavorful, but also soft and broad on the palate, thanks to very fine-grained tannins.
Expressively fruity with strawberry and hibiscus. Light-bodied, crisp, and refreshing.
Aromas of crème fraiche, white rice, and gardenia are subtle, leading to a brisk lemon verbena note on the palate. Honeyed graham cracker and green apple are surrounded by zippy bubbles and high point acidity.
Palate cleansing notes of salted almonds, with tart pineapple-mango refreshes with a keen acidity. Honeyed white flowers and lime blossoms accent on nose and palate and continue through a powdered vanilla finish.
Sweet meats, pomegranate, and an earthy core defines this energetic stainless steel-fermented and aged red. Lean, lively, and connected to wild strawberry and salty minerality on the finish.
A deliriously delicious sparkler with tangerine and almond weaving through honeysuckle. Bubbles are light and airy, with a crisp acidity keeping freshness on-going.
Spiced mulberry and sandalwood offer a glimpse of Santa Ynez Valley’s intricate terroir. The wine is well structured with supple tannins and an earthy core dotted with white pepper. Aged 21 months in (40% new) French oak, its creamy layer of violets and blackberry jam is marvelous.
