Kaena, Surfing the Grenache Wave; 12/14/2015-12/18/2015 (Los Olivos): 13.9% abv. An unusually convincing blend of 60% Roussanne, 28% Grenache Blanc, and 12 % Riesling. Rhone whites, while unfailingly flavorful, can also be wanting in lift and a middle ground. The Riesling works like magic here, supplying just what is needed, a layer of tart apricot, filling out the floral GB and roasted nuts of the Roussanne.
