  Pale lemon in color with a golden tint.
  
  Strong nose of citrus, yellow and green apples, earth, limes and spices.
  
  Medium bodied with medium acidity.
  
  Dry on the palate with limes, grapefruits, citrus, green apples, river rocks, minerals, earth, spices and herbs.
  
  Tangy finish with black pepper and almonds.
  
  This is a nice Grenache Blanc from Paso robles. Crisp and refreshing. Fruit forward with lots of earth notes, that make it feel like a Southern Rhône White.
  
  A good quality wine. Would be nice to revisit it in a few years and see how it evolved.
  
  Good by itself and better with food.
  
  A blend of 79% Grenache Blanc, 12% Picpoul Blanc and 9% Viognier. Fermented in a mix of Hungarian and French Oak barrels, and aged for 8 months. Only 950 cases produced.
  
  13.6% alcohol by volume.
  
  88 points.
  
  $40.

  Waxy and rather simple with minimal terroir but abundant acidity (tasted like Granny Smith apples). Paired well with roasted Rockfish & Saffron Couscous but was mostly void of fruit flavors throughout.
