Nice snappy acidity. Pretty stone fruit in the aromas.

Pale peach in color. Muted aromas of peach and orange peel. Nice fruit and acidity on the palate accompanied by stony minerality. Made from a combination of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Counoise from the Windmill vineyard in the Dunnigan Hills of Yolo County, Syrah from the Hurley Vineyard in Napa Valley, and Grenache from the Gibson Ranch in the McDowell Valley of Mendocino County. Whole cluster pressed then fermented and aged on the lees in stainless steel without malolactic fermentation. Very quaffable at only 11.2%. $24.

I know I’m supposed to like this more than I do. Crisp, refreshing, just not terribly complex.

Pale salmon almond orange in color. Lifted strawberry, peach fuzz and nectarine fruit. Medium weight with solid acidity and a smooth mouthfeel, slightly tropical and strawberry fruit. Solid.
