Tasting notes
Led by a weighty, waxy nose, the 2023 Grenache Blanc centers around ripe yellow orchard fruit aromas with floral, stony accents. The palate displays a beautiful combination of midrange breadth and richness with a tensile, coiled structure, especially evident in the long, detailed and mineral-tinged finish. Perennially, this is one of the reference points for this variety in California, and I look forward to revisiting this from bottle.

The 2023 Grenache Blanc is wickedly fresh. A burst of lime zest and dried herbs unveil crushed rocks and hints of tropical melon. This sweeps across the palate with ripe orchard fruits and hints of candied citrus. The Grenache Blanc shows admirable length and a crunchy sensation; a lemon concentration keeps the mouth watering for more.
