RATINGS

96The Wine Advocate

...aromas of white peaches and fresh herbs with touches of white blossoms and beeswax...palate is satiny and dynamic, with concentrated, exotic fruit, seamless acidity and shimmery streaks of graphite.

94Vinous / IWC

...distinctive, exotic bouquet of lemon confit, tangerine oil, mint and tropical fruit...wild, complex wine. Apricot, tangerine oil, mint and jasmine are nicely pushed forward.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...array of pineapple, lemon curd, and crushed stone as well as terrific minerality, medium body, bright acidity, and a great finish.

92Wine Spectator

Green apple, pear and guava flavors are fresh and intense, with notes of spice, lemongrass and fresh grated ginger. Robust and generous on a sleek and juicy frame.

92Wine Enthusiast

Baked apple, lemon-glaze and mango aromas make for a heady nose on this single-vineyard expression from a biodynamic property. The palate balances green-herb and white-pepper flavors with sliced pear and baked orange rinds.

REGION

United States, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County, Santa Ynez Valley, Happy Canyon

Santa Ynez Valley AVA is home to more wineries than any other area in Santa Barbara County. The appellation was established in 1983 and it includes a total of 76,800 acres, of which 1,500 acres are vineyards. Chardonnay is the dominant grape in this appellation, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Merlot. The appellation runs east and west with temperatures and microclimates changing significantly from warmer in the east to cool by the time the district gets close to the Pacific Ocean. In recent years Rhone-style wines have been successfully made here, and vineyards now are also planted to Syrah, Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache, Mourvedre and Marsanne.

TYPE

White Wine, Sauvignon Blanc

This crisp, dry white wine hails from France but is grown in wine regions around the world. In California, it is sometimes called Fume Blanc; while in Sauternes, it is a component of their famous dessert wines.
