#Keplinger white #wine blend. Not my favorite style of wine, but still complete. Color has unique copper/brass hue. Lots of sheen with thick meniscus. Robust tropical nose. Palate has plenty of baked Apple/pineapple. White Rhone varietals to a "T", with big round texture and body.

Opened 3/3/16

Gorgeous Rh么ne style white blend. Texture, structure, fruit and acidity all in balance. So this is what the fuss is about!

My first #Keplinger wine and I'm a happy man. Often find these white Rhone blends from the New World can be out of balance and the ABV too powerful. However, this is a #MeLikey wine and loving the luscious lime, white peach and cantaloupe with generous finish and yes, will be back for more! #2013

Fermentation and aging in concrete is gaining traction in the US, when I studied enology in college, concrete tanks weren't discussed as a method, which is too bad, because of the substantial impacts to texture and purity of fruit. Keplinger's use of concrete in this Rh么ne white blend is one
such success. Ripe Bosc pear, white peach and honeysuckle on the nose. Full and lush in the mouth with a silky, creamy texture. Acidity lends balance and length. Papaya, lime zest and lanolin notes on the finish.
