2021 Ridge Grenache Blanc [JS93][W&S91][WS91][JD90]

"A white with crushed stone and sliced lemon rind with some white peaches. Sliced apple, too. Medium to full body. Some lime at the end." 

"Scents of peach juice and honeycomb interweave in this flavorful white. Rich as vanilla frosting, this firms up immediately with air, lasting on an orange-pineapple scent and a wheaty savor for swordfish." 

"Vibrant and luscious in texture, with spirited nectarine, peach and honeysuckle flavors that dance delicately on the polished finish." 

"The 2021 Grenache Blanc, which includes a touch of Roussanne and Picpoul, comes all from the Adelaida Vineyard in the northwestern side of the appellation. It has textbook notes of juicy citrus, pear, and honeyed minerality in a more medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant style that will shine on the dinner table. I like it today, yet this will evolve nicely for at least 4-6 years." 

 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Beautiful, translucent golden color. Aromas of white peach, brioche, honeydew, pear, and wet stone. Bright and clean entry with medium body and a refreshing, mouthwatering finish."
