Patianna has a very good track record with this unoaked variety, which is grown in the warmer Hopland area of inland Mendocino. The ’08 is very dry, very crisp in citrusy acids, and complex, with New Zealand-style flavors of gooseberries, white currants, minerals and geraniums, in addition to riper flavors of pineapples, limes and sweet Meyer lemons.——S.H.(2/1/2010)—— 91
