WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
With this vintage we’ve gone a little heavier on the Vermentino bit and the results are spectacular: There is the delicate suggestion of white flowers and of course the quality that Vermentino brings, which the French call balsamique (or resinous). But what really stands out is the absolutely intense pear-like fragrance (and of course) the wine’s exemplary length and persistence.
Blend: 60% Vermentino, 40% Grenache Blanc
TASTING NOTES:
Nearly crystal clear in the glass, this blend of 60% Vermentino and 40% Grenache Blanc is very aromatic with poached pear, jasmine and gardenia on the tropical-leaning nose. More of those floral and pear flavors meet with coconut on the palate.
