This was a great easy drinking French styled White. Loved it and would be difficult to tell it is from the central coast and not France.

Spectacular. Understated. Balanced and gorgeous. The elegant side of a showy grape. Highly recommended. White flowers, saline minerals hint of brûlée vanilla. Stunning.

Bright acid & nectarine apricot, light straw color in the glass. Zero sugar. I liked it but would be better paired with seafood.

Almost Chardonnay like buttery finish. Lots of floral notes. Very easy drinking.
