Ooooh – pretty! Scents of white flowers (lemon blossom, honeysuckle and jasmine), lemon cream, vanilla and a touch of fresh green herbs delight the nose. The luscious mouth is packed with a perfect balance of creamy, citrusy and herbal flavors. Delicious! San Diego Union Tribune rated this wine 4 starts "Highly Recommended"
