Ranked the #17 White, Rosé & Sparkling Wine in our February 10, 2018 "Big Taste" of The Vineyard Wine Tasting Event.
Rather than rely on the palette of one wine buyer, we consider these wines taste-tested and approved by our customers who voted with their dollars at our wine “Big Taste” wine event.
The area's low annual rainfall and the vineyards' free draining soil allow us to control water to the vine to keep the grapevines from becoming overly aggressive. The culmination is graceful, seamless wines perfect for enjoying with friends.
Vinous
- v90
Bright, pale yellow. Brisk scents of pineapple, lemon, anise and fresh herbs. Vibrant but supple too, with pineapple and lemon zest flavors complicated by some spiciness from 30% barrel fermentation and a bit of lees aging. Offers very good palate presence and finishes pure, firm and persistent. This brisk wine offers excellent cut but does not come across as austere. (13% alcohol)
Wine Enthusiast

Aromas of grass, grapefruit and herb lead to a crisp citrus flavor on the full-bodied palate. These tones carry on the finish.
