This estate-grown white wine is impressive with its pretty stone fruit and floral aromas and flavors. Its sweet-tart flavors complement spicy Asian dishes, and it’s a great sipper on its own. I loved the note of minerality and bright acidity that balances the ripe fruit and tropical notes in this full-bodied and full-flavored white. While it’s not a bargain-priced wine, at $36 retail in Daou’s tasting room, it’s the kind of wine you want on hand for celebrating special occasions or a special meal.
