Simple and straight forward Sta. Rita Hills. This was a interesting vintage, early harvest and small yields. Giving nice fruits but very light palate texture and finish.

Watching vultures fly above and ostriches run around eating a portobello burger. Stunning experience!

Tried 2009 at first but went with 2007. Less tannic and smoother than 2009. Great wine for Thalia's hs celebration dinner and went well with the filet mignon
