    Very tropical but fresh and clean aromas of pineapple, guava and lemongrass show on the nose of this bottling. It's a bit fat on the sip with prominent guava and tropical flowers like plumeria, yet it's a zesty well-made wine.

    This is proof that excellent Chardonnay can come from this warm region in Southern California. Key lime pie, peach blossom and shaved apple aromas show on the nose. The palate sizzles with acidity and a savory hit of sea salt, with a core of Asian pear and stone fruit flavors.

    This is a very peachy and fruit-forward take on the grape from Southern California. It's happily bright and tight on the palate, with chalkiness in the midpalate, and a tropical sense throughout, with banana and pineapple building towards a lemony and layered finish.
