I don't guess there's much Grenache Blanc grown in SYV. Young and crisp with a perfect balance of minerality, acidity, and aromatics. This is a step up backyard pool pleaser. — 9 months ago

Visited this gem of a winery last year. 2021 brings 56% Syrah, 8% Grenache, 23% Mourvédre, and 12% Petite Sirah, with 8% whole cluster fruit in the blend. Not much nose, but you'll initially get some savory spices of fennel and thyme in the glass. As it evolves the complexity shines. Cassis, dark currants and a smokiness. Medium to full bodied. Make a point of visiting for a tasting. — a year ago

This review is actually for the Thompson vineyards Chardonnay. Loads of lemon zest and pineapple. It has a full mouthfeel with bright acidity. Oak and stainless rounds this out with a full finish. Only 124 cases made. Brilliant Chard. — a year ago
