Winemaker Notes
 
Aromas of white nectarine and honeysuckle abound. Bright acidity leads on the palate framed by a redolence of under ripe pineapple and stone fruit, which persist and blend with wet river rock on the finish.
 
The Kristy Vineyard grows on the western bench over the Salinas River on the broken sediment of ancient sea beds where it is exposed to the consistent cooling winds off the Monterey Bay. Kristy is a special because Albariño in the vineyard reaches full phenological ripeness at low potential alcohol and bright natural acidity later in the season.
