Here’s a welcome addition to the New Wave of bone-dry, high-acid, floral-fruity wines, made from more obscure varieties that has been sweeping across California. It’s a very fine wine, firm and crisp and lemony, with just a slight kiss of oak. Terrifically versatile, and a sommelier’s dream.

A beautiful, bargain-priced blend of Tinta Roriz (aka Tempranillo), Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa and Alvarelhão. Violet and jasmine perfumed, this wine is so, so pretty with just a stunning nose. In taste, there’s raspberry, strawberry and lilting layers of pepper and herbs. An intriguing wine well worth trying, made by Morgan Winery Winegrower Dan Lee.
