Dashe Cellars
Monarch Mine Vineyard Grenache Blanc
Sierra Foothills, California, USA
First vintage of Grenache Blanc for Dashe. 25% barrel fermented, it's fairly light on its feet. Pear and melon, fresh acidity...this bottle emptied pretty fast.

1 person found it helpfulJul 1st, 2014Gold color with a just a hint of haziness with quince paste, honey, sweet spice, baked stone fruits, aromas with a bit of earthiness. On the palate, it's full- bodied with a lush mouthfeel and lively acidity with ample quince, baked peach, honey and spice flavors with an appealing vein of minerality and a lingering sweet finish. 13.9% alcohol Very good QPR at $22!
