Its recent plantings of Touriga Nacional, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Barbera give every indication that this winery’s new offerings will be worth watching. In the meantime, this wine is a fine everyday white with firm, yellow stone fruit and crisp citrus flavors rounded out by hints of vanillin, toast and hay. There is a certain leanness to the herbal notes and just-right acidity. Drink young, with goat cheeses and chicken dishes.——K.F.(11/15/2003)—— 86
