2004 Bonny Doon Big House White

I hear many people bashing this wine, and frankly i dont see why. At $8-10, this offers very good value and is quite interesting, refined, with an almost Chablis mineral quality.

The color is light hay and very clear, the nose hinting strongly of stone fruits (Peach, Nectarine, and Apricot) and wet river rock. there are also accenting notes of lemon peel, and a slightly floral (lylac comes to mind) character. The fruits and stone echo in the mouth as well, strongly, and crisply. Very old world, refined, with moderate length and a shorter finish.

All in all, this is one of the best Bonny Doons to date. would be very nice with mussels and very simply prepared white fish. Tasted wondergul with littleneck clams, sauted with fennel, garlic, and onion, and deglazed with this wine. would purchase again.
