Light golden color. Reserved aromas of orchard, tropical and citrus fruit, sea spray and a hint of fresh cut grass. Flavors of green apple, white peach, lemon/lime and nectarine fruit. Noticeable additional flavors of mineral on the long and bright finish. Slightly creamy texture (lees aging?) and crisp acidity. Opens up with a little aeration. Straightforward and solid, but not overly complex. Better with food.

"La Val" is Spanish for "The Val." And we are drinking La Val with our friend Val. So, it's all coming together.
Listening to Ella Fitzgerald.
