Fantastic central coast blend from vista verde William selyem’s vineyard in San Benito and south monterey county fruit from scheid or San bernabe. Honey tropical lanolin high toned but balanced. No obnoxious aspects.

Pungent fragrance, soft and velvety taste. Let it sit for second before drinking. At first I wasn't a fan but it grew on me with every sip.

Great on its own but paired well with salty umami flavors.

Not so aromatic by the body is really impressive with a tight high acid structure, great with all the fish and citrus in our starters, lovely start.
