This pretty, elegant white wine offers subtle fruit flavors of nectarine, minerals, and lemon that are quite nicely balanced. It’s delightful as an aperitif and versatile enough to pair with an array of lighter foods such as crab omelet, prawns, white fish, Chinese chicken salad, or alongside a cheese tray. A value-driven brand, Tangent’s wines are consistently good, whether enjoyed in a restaurant or at home. This new release is available at the Niven Family’s Baileyana tasting room on Orcutt Road in Edna Valley, only $17 retail.
