Lovely with rounded soft pear, Madagascar vanilla and balance between acidity and fruit. All melded together beautifully. I love the understated elegance Santa Cruz Mountains brings- one of my fav CA AVAs.

Chassagne + Napa's child. Did not suck. Much better than a lot of more expensive white burgundy. Buy more.
