Russian River Valley Grenache Blanc
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
This is a very nice Grenache Blanc from Russian River Valley. Showing citrus, green apples, grapefruits, gooseberry, white flowers and bitter herbs on the finish.
Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing with an airy feeling.
Tastes like a new world Sauvignon Blanc. A Good quality wine with nice complexity and balance.
A good food wine and very enjoyable by itself, too.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.
A blend of 90% Grenache Blanc and 10% Viognier. A very small production of only 102 cases.
13.3% alcohol by volume.
88 points.
$30.

Pale lemon in color with a yellow tint.
Light nose of lemons, citrus, grapefruits, pears, green apples, minerals and white pepper.
Medium-bodied with medium plus acidity, crisp and refreshing.
Dry on the palate with limes, lemon juice, light grapefruits, citrus, green apples, spices, herbs and light vegetables.
Medium plus on the finish with spices and bitter almonds.
This is an interesting white wine from Russian River Valley. Nice and refreshing and feels more like an old world wine than a California white.
Good by itself and better with food like oysters. I paired it with a cheese plate and crackers.

Good acid and lots of 🍋 - Viognier adds too many floral notes for me.
