Decanter

A nod to Friuli. Aromatics of lemon verbena, green mangoes and airy white flowers with a kiss of seaspray. The palate is edgy as the acidity zips across your tongue. Flavours of Meyer lemon, rich grilled pineapple, a touch of Hawaiian papaya, and a mineral spine finish the wine.

Professional Reviews

James Suckling

Intensely aromatic, with mint, menthol, grapefruit and lime aromas leading to crisp, acidic, tangy flavors of kiwi fruit, green apples, chalky minerals and lime zest on a light body. It’s bone dry, bracing and fresh from first whiff to lingering finish.

Wine Enthusiast

This wine is zesty, with aromas of ripe lemon, baked apple, dried herbs, lilies and mineral on the nose. On the palate, flavors of pink grapefruit, dried apricot, cinnamon and orange-blossom honey are layered with lemongrass, mineral and dry, juicy finish. Pair with crab cakes with mango relish.

Notes

It's not hyperbole to declare that Dan Petroski has reached the top echelon of California winemakers. As one of our state's finest vignerons, his efforts have catapulted this niche winery to the forefront of the wine cognoscenti while also turning the esteemed Larkmead Vineyards into one of the valley's top estates. Named the San Francisco Chronicle's Winemaker of the year for 2017, Dan's been turning heads and pleasing palates for decades. At Massican, he draws his inspiration from his heritage in northern Italy, but more importantly, his wines attempt to capture the spirit of Mediterranean wines and lifestyle. Dan has developed a reputation for producing some of this country's most interesting and exciting white wines. This level of quality at these prices make the wines some of our best values.
