Last of the Hurricane Harvey relief bottles…awful to contemplate what befell Napa itself (and the surrounding area obviously) just a few years later. In any case still one of the great Cali white wines, a beautiful blend of Italian varietals giving at this point lime, white peach, green melon, honey, lychee, dried grass, almond/marzipan, and as the winemaker notes plentiful spice and mineral from a rainy vintage. Beguiling interplay of lees-imparted flesh, shot through with zing from the blocked malo style
