| This wine was awarded Double Gold, 98 points, Best of Region White and Best of Class at the California State Fair. TASTING NOTE: Dry, lively and fresh, this wine has an attractively restrained range of flavors that includes lemon,white pepper and herbs. It's thirst-quenching and clean in texture, with a fruit-driven acidity that reverberates on the finish. Best Buy. Score - 90 (Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, April 1, 2017) |
