The blend of the warm climate Alexander Valley fruit with cooler climate Russian River, makes for a unique, flavorful wine. A color of clear light straw, and aromas of citrus and kiwi fruit. On the palate are flavors of grapefruit, pear, and melon. Nice finish with good minerality and acidity. Drinks well by itself, pair with moderate acidic foods.
