Forlorn Hope
Nodosaur Rorocik Family Vineyard White Blend
Calaveras County, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Really beautifully balanced citrus notes, honeydew, and orange peel. Sorry @Sarah O'Kelley I had to jump the gun on tomorrow night’s virtual tasting. This is awesome though!

Aug 20th, 2020An original vineyard blend of Picpoul, Verdelho, Albarino and a dashing of Muscat from the Rorick Vineyard in Calaveras County (Sierra Foothills). Fresh, mineral with grapefruit, tangerine and flowers. Quite powerful with crisp acidity, a subtle grapefruit-like bitterness and long finish. Intense and still refreshing. Another winner. 2014 vintage. Abv. 14,21%.

Pretty cool stuff, a true Iberian blend of Verdelho and Albarino, then some Picpoul and Muscat all from the Rorick Vineyard which is planted at 2000 feet of elevation in Calaveras County. Some Douro foot tread was done prior to pressing, fermentation was done in open top fermentor, stainless steel, and 500L puncheon for 14 months before bottling. Density with tension, fresh peach and nectarine push on to a long mineral finish loaded with dry extract from no fining or filtering.

Aug 19th, 2017The guy told me 'it's just really well made white wine and I'm not sure I can say much else' RIGHT ON THE MONEY could not say it better.

Dec 1st, 2016Super floral and aromatic with hints of apple and honeysuckle. High acid at its best!

Very different from other whites. Faint apple on the nose with tastes of apple and pear. Wife says it went really well with Kimchi. @Matthew Rorick very nice wine.
