Bacigalupi Vineyards Chardonnay

Sonoma County · Russian River Valley

Previous notes apply. Lemon curd, vanilla, lime zest, popcorn, and some subtle stone fruit. The lime note (and a tinge of alkaline and alcohol) repeat on the back end. Missing a bit of finesse and…

Bacigalupi Vineyards Pinot Noir Rosé

Sonoma County · Russian River Valley
