Top Notes For
Santa Maria Valley, Central Coast, California, USAOk always a classic cali blend for me. Over the past ten years it's stayed true to its style. It's a big rich blend, but very harmonious on the palette. On the nose citrus and tropical fruit with brown sugar and river stone. The blanc and gris combine flavors to make a very strong Alsatian grand cru style blend. A lingering finish seems to Drift on and on with medium+ French oak treatment. Definitely a winner for the alt white section. The river stones really come back on the finish. Yum
