Pale lemon in the glass, the wine has a pronounced nose of green apple, green pear, and a hint of salt water air, much like my nights on the Narragansett pier. On the palate the wine reveals flavors of lemon and mandarin orange with a distinct wet stone minerality. Perfectly balanced acid and body with a long tart fruit finish.

Such a tasty Super Tuscan with a long life ahead of it. The tannins are just slightly aggressive now but the fruit profile is beautiful - dark cherry, dark raspberry, wild herbs, underbrush.

Years ago at a tasting room, this wine was described to me as having a note of Captain Crunch on the nose and palate. That is all I think of now when I drink Grenache Blanc.
Bright acidity, med+ body, and lots of citrus and tropical notes. Enjoyable as an aperitif but suitable to a whole range of food pairings.
