Bonny Doon and founder Randall Grahm were pioneers in the production of Rhône varietal wines in California's Central Coast region. Grahm sold the winery in January 2020, but stayed on as head winemaker. This complex blend of predominantly Grenache Blanc, along with Vermentino and a little Clairette, was produced biodynamically and is unoaked. Ripe and juicy, this has pronounced notes of sweet peach fruit and a waft of jasmine fragrance. It's rounded but with good freshness, and a steal at this price. Grab a bottle of the excellent red, too.
