 Tasted by merryberry on 3/22/2009 & rated 86 points: Golden straw color. Grapefruit, flowers and spice on the nose. Creamy lemon and tart citrus, nicely-flavored finish. Pretty good for the money (under $10). (568 views)
 Tasted by chrwhite on 1/29/2009 & rated 82 points: Light gold in the glass. A very floral nose with pineapple and green apple (think golden delicious). The nice nose is offset by a tart palate with a creamy mouthfeel. Lemon, grapefruit, spice, and oak are all pleasant up front, with bitterness creeping into the back of the palate. This fades into a citrus finish with a little oak and spice. It's a pleasant finish. The nose is the strong point of this wine. (548 views)

California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in over 100 viticultural areas, including dozens of ­different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of ­winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
