Pale white in color. Perfumed floral honeyed notes in nose, in mouth, thin body, some Thompson seedless-like flavor, but citric finish with slight creamy leesiness gives it more complexity. Slightly alcoholic aftertaste

Love this Malvasia, Tocai, Chardonnay blend. Medium to Medium plus in weight, gorgeous acid forward balance, long, scratchy finish. These guys have become a must-buy” for the past few years...and this vintage brings it home with a Greek meal screaming with garlic, lemon, olive oil and vinegar. These Cal/Ital blends bring me so much pleasure. “Opa!”

Psst....Hey, you...tired of New World Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc...or Riesling? I got your shit right here—Russian River Malvasia. Taut, tight, crisp, racy.. I’m in love with Cali high-acid, largely unoaked, Italian varietals. Please plant more!
