2022 Linne Calodo "Pale Flowers"Paso Robles Red Rhone Blend more |
3/29/2024 - IanAltman Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis is what Rosė wants to be when it grows up. Don't serve it too cold, or the flavors might not come through. You can detect the grenache with a delicate acidity. This has become our favorite rose... and each person we share it with immediately asks where they can get more. |

12/6/2023 - jfaulk Likes this wine: 92 pointsWow! is all I can say...On the nose, a spring flower...on the palate, you're welcomed by a bright acid punch up front with a mellow lingering smooth finish. Pineapple, Citrus, coconut, quince. This is awesome and justifies the price point. |

10/17/2023 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 96 pointsRetail $68. This is becoming redundant, but the bottles from Linne Catoldo should be classified as environmental hazards. Yeesh. 47% Grenache Blanc, 35% Viognier, 18% Picpoul Blanc. Linne Catoldo winemaker/owner Matt Trevisan states this on the website: "Once upon a time, I swore I would never make a white wine—I didn’t have the equipment or the inclination." And as far as I can tell, this is the *only* white (along with a rosé that I have not tried) among *twelve* reds. Well, Mr. Trevisan should consider adding a few more whites to the lineup as this is delicious. Sure, this is on the big side of white Rhône-style wines, but Trevisan does not seem to go as full-throttle with this wine as he did with the reds. Yes, there is plenty of fruit, but there is also nuance, and verve, and, dare I say "restraint" here that does not come through in the reds (although each of those that I tried could use some cellar time to mellow out a bit). I shy away from superlatives, but this is one of the best white Rhône blends I have tried outside of France. Just please consider using more responsible glass--no one still thinks that "heavy bottles" mean "great wine". Most people just think "environmentally reckless." |

9/22/2023 - OldHick95 Likes this wine: 92 pointsSubtly complex and textured, it is not just for pool side. Light salmon in color. Blood orange and grapefruit notes supply an addictive bitterness under the crispness you expect from a Rose. |
