Palmina 2015 Pinot Grigio (Santa Barbara County)
Steve Clifton takes this common grape on an uncommonly tasty spin, starting with taut and fresh aromas of green-apple flesh, grapefruit pith and light white flowers. The earthy palate shows river-stone and wet-cement minerality but also Key lime and Gravenstein apple warmth, all wrapped up in a compelling texture. Matt Kettmann
