A cloudy Sauvignon, with a breezy citrus California vibe. It has a ripe, citrus juice with a tropical flair on the nose. Round with a bright freshness and notes of sweet, yellow grapefruit and a touch of grassiness and minerality.
Proudly made by a Black winemaker, influential in the low-intervention wine community.
