This is such a lovely wine. Enjoyed on a beautiful September night at Red Butte Gardens watching Kenny Logins with my lovely wife. Consumed with ceviche and chips.

This is a very viscous and rounded wine. 50% Malvasia Bianca and 20% Chardonnay both from Catie’s Corner Vineyard, Russian River Valley, with remaining 30% old vine Tocai Friulano from Pagani Ranch Sonoma. Definitely not your typical Napa or Sonoma white, and that's what makes it truly "Are Garbe".... The nose and the entry of this wine is predominantly tropical, but there is a lot of white peach flesh, lemongrass, herbs, with a baseline sweetness about it that went very well with a variety of appetizers. Finishes with a little bit of white pepper, but really amazed at how much roundness and grip this wine had. Although it appears very rounded in the mouth, it did not seem very heavy, heated or disjointed. For those of you that may be concerned about the fact that this one isn't quite 2 years old, don't be. This is a very nice wine, ready to go!!

A blend of white grapes; a bit Viognier-like but lighter
