Hurray hurray! One of the few very good wines from California under ten dollars. This light gold white wine has a slight green undertone. It’s full of citrus and peach scents. Underneath the fruit lies a soft floral aroma. The wine is simple tasting: dry, crisp & fresh. The tangy finish makes it a great appetizer wine.
