This is such a fine appellation wine, punching well above its price point in quality and memorability, sourced from such stellar sites as Westside Farms, Rochioli Allen and others. Stone, melon and Meyer lemon highlight a fresh core of acidity that's both steely and focused, with floral jasmine nipping around the edges. VIRGINIE BOONE 12/1/2020
