AROMAS & FLAVORS
The musqué clone makes this a highly aromatic wine, with creamy tropical citrus confectionery notes and hints of pineapple and grapefruit. The palate is rich with a crisp acidity, offering bright citrus flavors and finishing with creamy toasted oak characters.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Enjoy paired with fatty fish, cream sauces or Thanksgiving turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy. It’s also delicious with richer seafood and cream sauces, chicken picatta, or a burrata and prosciutto appetizer.
VINTAGE
2021 had a minimal amount of rain during the winter, continuing Santa Barbara County’s drought. Early bud break and mild spring weather continued into a cool summer. A short heat spike in early August lasted about a week before the mild weather pattern resumed, allowing us to pick each block at the optimum time. Our first pick was September 8th, the earliest in the last 5 years. Harvest was completed October 28th.
