This is a nice southern Rhône white blend from California. Crisp and refreshing and good by itself or with food.
It is actually, much better, with some air time. 30 minutes does the trick.
I paired it with a baked Brie cheese and crackers.

This is a very nice wine from California. Showing more like a southern Rhone White, though.
Dry on the palate with limes, lemons, grapefruits, herbs, earth, vegetables, spices, minerals and white pepper.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Tangy, spicy and a little bitter on the ending.
Good food wine that pairs well with cheeses.

Apricot and floral nose. Again amount of acid in the mid palate and a finish of unripe green apple.
