Fantastic. Honeysuckle and flower stems. Not sweet in the way you expect a California white to be, nor dry and lean like an old world white. The sweetness seems nutty and a little like nougat. A surprisingly long finish. It's a shockingly terrific white for the price. Think of it as a $30 Gavi with a rounder flavor, richer mouth feel, a little more cognac and a little less minerality, and at a 66% discount.
