2017 Chardonnay, Edna Valley
Pale gold. Mineral-accented pear nectar, orange zest and honeysuckle on the nose, along with a hint of smokiness. Lively citrus and orchard fruit flavors show very good clarity and put on weight with air. The long, focused finish features a repeating mineral note and leaves a juicy orchard fruit note behind.

2018 Albariño, Spanish Springs Vineyard
Pale yellow. Mineral-tinged citrus and orchard fruit aromas, complemented by suggestions of pungent flowers and fennel. Sappy Meyer lemon, pear and honeysuckle flavors are underscored by a chalky mineral note that builds steadily with air. Shows very good depth of flavor and finishes on a silky note, with floral-accented persistence.

2017 Pinot Gris, Spanish Springs Vineyard
Bright green-tinged straw. Fresh melon and a hint of orange zest on the nose, with floral and spice elements emerging with aeration. Silky and focused in the mouth, offering juicy honeydew, pear and citrus fruit flavors and a bracing mineral quality that adds back-end cut. Finishes silky and long, showing fine definition and a repeating mineral note. All stainless steel.

2017 Pinot Gris, Spanish Springs Vineyard
Intriguing aromas of dried lemon peels, wet wool, crushed rocks and lime pith show on the dynamic nose of this bottling from a very coastal vineyard behind Pismo Beach. There is compelling grip to the sip with flavors of citrus, apple blossom and a pinch of salt.

2018 Rosé of Grenache, Edna Valley
A very pretty shade of pink with a hint of mauve, this bottling starts with chalky bubblegum aromas as well as a hint of slate and wet earth. The palate is very engaging with zippy acidity and tension that frame the watermelon, strawberry and red-plum-skin flavors.

2017 Rosé of Pinot Noir, Edna Valley
(all whole clusters and raised in stainless steel tanks) Pale orange. An intensely perfumed bouquet evokes fresh red berries, orange zest, succulent flowers and chalky minerals. Vibrant strawberry, cherry and tangerine flavors steadily put on weight with aeration. Smoothly blends power and finesse and shows impressive tension on the finish, where the mineral and red fruit notes return.
