"Lean and greenish, with tart pineapple, green apple, quince and herbal sage notes. 50,000 cases made." -Wine Spectator

"Distinct aromas of ginger and lemon zest are joined by toasty coconut, melon and caramel alongside a mineral, flinty cedar chest oakiness overlaid by notes of honeysuckle. Well-balanced with a solid acid backbone, the wine is rich and medium-heavy with a broad, yet firm, mid-palate. The long, lingering finish displays a touch of spice and lively acidity. Flavors of lemon, apple, pear, pineapple and cantaloupe, Sonoma's full cornucopia of fruit, join a nutty, spicy, lightly oaky profile." -Winemaker's Notes

Cheese Pairings: goat cheese or sheeps' milk cheese 

Food Pairings: poultry, shellfish and vegetables
