"Earthy, herbal aromas and tangy, savory flavors give this wine great lift and refreshment qualities. Green apples, kiwis, lime zest and minerals on the palate, balanced by lively acidity. Drink now."

"What began as a Napa honeymoon dream in 1974 became reality when Tom and Marilyn Stolpman got the wine bug. They landed in the limestone soils of Ballard Canyon in 1988, an AVA in Santa Barbara that was far less developed than it is today. That pioneering spirit continues today, with the next generation of the Stolpmans running this still family-owned business. This wine is sourced from the Stolpman estate, as well as some low-yielding neighboring vineyards. For the price, you can't really beat this balance. Crisp and precise, this wine offers notes of passion fruit, guava, fresh herbs, lemon oil, and grapefruit."
