Easy to drink , dry with with floral end notes. Light on tannin and funk but still not a white wine. Great with food — a month ago

So enjoyable every time - apricots, strawberries, minerality. — 4 years ago

Cloudy but vibrant lemon-gold hue, with intense and intriguing notes of brûléed pineapple, marzipan, baked yellow apple, lemon custard, crème puff, lily of the valley, geranium, yellow peach, mirabelle plum, and sourdough.

Ultra-fine, creamy mousse and tart, with searing acidity to balance the rich texture. Like biting into the perfect not-quite-ripe yellow plum. Some very pleasant autolytic character.

Very likely my favorite California sparkling wine I’ve ever tasted. — 4 years ago

Clear, deep ruby colour. Clean, pronounced red fruits and pepper on the nose. Dry, high acidity and tannins, with ripe plum, red cherries and heaps of pepper! Full-bodied with a very long finish. Very good quality.

Great accompaniment to the beautifully cooked, glazed fillet.

Strange wine. Very little fruit here, but a crazy amount of botanical herbs that reminds me of Chartreuse, jasmine, chamomile, slate, leafy greens, and maybe some spearmint. Not delicious but fascinating none the less. This will get someone out of their comfort zone real quick! — 4 years ago

Really impressed with this wine. This area of California’s landscape and proximity to the Pacific mimics that of Albariño’s home, Rias Biaxas. Salty, tropical, and mineral with good weight and balance. — 3 years ago
