About Bonny Doon Vineyard
Iconoclast Randall Grahm made his name as one of the original Rhône Rangers in California. When he purchased land in the Santa Cruz Mountains in the early ‘80s his dream was actually to develop great American Pinot Noir. This feat temporarily eluded him, but what he developed was a knack for lesser-grown, Mediterranean varieties.

($20; 54% roussanne and 46% grenache) Light, bright yellow. Fresh nectarine and tangerine aromas are brightened by baking spices and dusty minerals. Juicy, nicely focused pit fruit flavors offer good snap, finishing with gentle spice character and good length. I like the finesse here.
