Palmina 2013 Larner Vineyard Malvasia Bianca (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Larner Vineyard
Variety: Malvasia Bianca California
Winery: Palmina / Santa Ynez Valley

Extremely pungent yet not overdone aromas of ruby red grapefruit, tropical flowers and passion-fruit juice show on this great interpretation of the often sweet-leaning grape. Despite the showy nose, it’s quite tight and dry on the palate, with flavors of pear and apple skins, lime rinds and yellow grapefruit.
