I suspected that this wine would be a good value when I first saw it on the shelf at Trader Joe's. According to the label, it is estate grown and bottled with an Edna Valley appellation. Grapes from the Edna Valley appellation don't come cheap, and this wine was selling for $8.99. I bought a case, knowing (correctly) that it would sell out quickly. Over the last two years, the wine has improved steadily. Drinking it tonight, I wish I had bought a second case.
Bright lemon yellow. Enticing bouquet, subtle floral/fruit scents. On the tongue, I get apples, pears, butter, brioche, subtle oak. Silky texture. Elegant mouth feel. Long finish.
