Ripe and jammy in cherry, raspberry and cola fruit, but there’s a stewed prune quality, and the wine feels unsatisfyingly simple.

This northern Italian variety, which has no relation to the Hungarian Tokaji, is a welcome addition to the new wave of white wines in California that are crisp and dry. It’s vibrant in citrus, vanilla and floral flavors, with minimal oak interference. The winemaker suggests pairing with prosciutto or popcorn, an assessment it’s impossible to disagree with.

Not much of this Italian variety in California, but there should be. Almost totally from Sonoma Valley, with a few drops from Mendocino, the wine is bone dry and crisp in acidity, with Meyer lemon, buttercup flower and cardamom spice flavors. Sort of a cross between Pinot Grigio and Viognier.

As often happens, the winery’s “regular” Pinot is better than their more expensive vineyard-designated bottling, released at the same time. Silky and expansive in cherries, pomegranates and new oak flavors, the wine is dry and elegant.
