Kuhlmanation
Estate Grown White
Texas Hill Country, Texas, USA
Another day, another time Kuhlman Cellars knocks it out of the park with a white wine. This is a 60/40 Marsanne/Roussanne Blend and is all Estate fruit...this is their first vintage. Upon opening, I did a double take to make sure it wasn’t their SauvBlanc (which I love), because it poured the exact same color (very faint gold) and had a very similar nose (lime rind, limestone, kiwi). This begins to differ on the palate where acidity is fairly low in comparison. Melon, honeydew and some lemon highlight the finish. As this wine oxidized and warmed up, it gained more complexity and heft. I’d actually have no problem letting this age a few years.

Jul 2nd, 2022@Delectable Wine this is the new Kuhlmanation White blend which is 60 Marsanne and 40 Roussanne. It was released about a week ago and therefore not in the database.
I cannot say enough positive things about the winemaker here, Benedicte is a fantastic wine maker from Provence, and this 60-40 split is no exception. Started out with a lot of tart lime and lemon rind with quite a bit of acidity. Not only did this calm down as the wine oxidized, but also calmed down with food. This one had everything from grapefruit to Kiwi, lime to melon, and really did soften and round out in the finish to a really nice white wine that has 14% ABV and a rather solid chance to age for another five to seven years. I am always impressed with the white wines offered by this producer. Doing incredible things!
