Yum chard killer. Yellow fruit with texture up front and and a subtle soft floral finish.

One of the more mineral driven CA white Rhône’s I’ve tried. Almond and lemon custard nose, some zip and direction on the palate. Rounded well with the Viognier sweeter florals.

May 21st, 20202015 vintage. Paso Robles Rhône blend (Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier). Profound nose with white peach, rosemary and a distinctive minerality. Powerful and intense, with tight acidity and an impressively long mineral aftertaste with a salty hint. Terrific value!

That's a very pretty wine. Nice acidity with great cream. Quite round, nice balance. Well done.

Rhine white with Grenache Blanc mostly. It has good minerality but is softened by the Viognier. From Paso Robles region.

Wonderfully balanced combo of Grenache Blanc Rousanne and Marsanne.  made by the talented winemaker Carol Shelton -this small winery in Paso Robles turns out quality winds, especially Zinfandel, year after year

First 80 degree day this year and this is the perfect wine to enjoy while sitting on the patio enjoying the warm breeze. Pear and mineral notes on the nose. Balanced blend, but the viognier shines through.

This is still a delightful bottle. Sad that it’s my last. Incredibly well balanced.
Longtime fan of her and her zins, and have enjoyed this white equally.
Kind of wish WS hadn’t gotten hold of this and cleared the shelves with their rating. But, well deserved!
