First place in its flight, this sweet white wine’s pale appearance belies rich aromas of sweet orange blossom, jasmine, mango, guava, pineapple, and lychee fruit. A lovely wine with a goldilocks texture: neither too rich, nor too light – a wonderfully silky wine. ~ St. Helena Star / NVV tasting panel
A fascinating mélange of aromas make this wine irresistible, with hints of stone fruit, lychee, Asian pear, mandarain, and a touch of jasmine. The wine is crisp and refreshing with a clean finish. Best from 2022-2024, after which the aromas will soften and hints of caramel and apple will emerge.
Perfect with cantaloupe and prosciutto, or with smokehouse almonds. Enjoy with fusilli smothered in pesto alla Genovese.
Ruby with tawny edges, in the glass, this wine offers a full spectrum of berry aromas, with hints of chocolate and spice. These flavors intensify on the palate, where they are carried along by satiny tannins and a very pleasant mouthfeel. In addition to ripe blueberry and black raspberry notes, the wine offers hints of cherry pie, rhubarb and candied violet.
