The Annia 2022 combines 41% Ribolla Gialla, 33% Tocai Friulano, and 26% Chardonnay from Napa and Sonoma. It offers an intriguing aromatic panoply of celery root, lavender, jasmine, and lilies of the valley, along with plenty of citrus zest. A silky fruit profile reveals a medium-bodied white redolent of poached pear, yellow apple, and melon. Hints of white pepper add more intrigue, and a beguiling mid-palate density cleansed with tart citrus-bright acidity beckons sip after sip.

The 2022 Annia California White Wine is a blend of 41% Ribolla Gialla, 33% Tocai Friulano, and the rest Chardonnay. In the glass, it pours a bright straw hue and is fresh with aromas of ripe pear, white strawberries, saline, almond, and fresh dewy flowers. Full-bodied, with a supple creamy texture and a rounded mouthfeel, it has notes of candle wax and a long, clean, savory finish with lingering notes of marzipan. Drink 2025-2035.

Juicy and plump, with peach, mango and tangerine flavors that reveal pretty floral accents of orange blossoms, lemon verbena and ylang-ylang, while notes of white pepper and sea salt minerality linger on the long, fresh finish. Ribolla Gialla, Tocai Friulano and Chardonnay. Drink now. 2,736 cases made.
