Top Notes For

9.1

An original vineyard blend of Picpoul, Verdelho, Albarino and a dashing of Muscat from the Rorick Vineyard in Calaveras County (Sierra Foothills). Fresh, mineral with grapefruit, tangerine and flowers. Quite powerful with crisp acidity, a subtle grapefruit-like bitterness and long finish. Intense and still refreshing. Another winner. 2014 vintage. Abv. 14,21%.

The guy told me 'it's just really well made white wine and I'm not sure I can say much else' RIGHT ON THE MONEY could not say it better.

Super floral and aromatic with hints of apple and honeysuckle. High acid at its best!
