VB Emeritus Jason Lefler nailed it with his first vintage of Gruner from Edna Valley’s famed Paragon Vineyard. The site looks west to the Pacific, and that cool vantage lends it all of the exciting herbal and floral elements of the Austrian original. This packs in flavor and acidity at generous levels while *also* retaining low alcohol... no easy feat! Shot through with apple and pear notes and laced with subtle hints of lychee and pepper, it’s as suited for spring rolls and Thai noodles as it is all by itself for Scrabble night.
