Quite the white wine blend! My last bottle as I have enjoyed crushing these during spring time the last few years. I’ve much preferred the 2019 experiment to the 2020 experiment (which is heavy Viognier and Albariño).
Roughly 25 SauvB/ 13 Grenache Blanc/ 12 roussanne/ 12 Viognier/ 11 Albariño/ 10 Vermentino/ 10 Marsanne/ 5 Picpoul Blanc
Aromatically, this comes across as SB and Viognier…it’s bright and semi-tropical (white peach, underripe guava) with honeysuckle and lemongrass. Wonderful texture channeling a spine of acidity with mineral/wet rock, some honeyed green apple crisps, and a sea-salted lemon finish. Oak doesn’t make much of an appearance. Profile wise, this falls in between your traditional Cali SBs and the newer “Super SauvBlanc” styles. Lovely.

This is 2019 Ovid Experiment W6.9.
I have really been looking forward to trying this one (my first Ovid white!), and this gorgeous sunny day presented me ample time to sit on the patio and contemplate it! Bright tropical notes on the nose. But I think the real beauty is the texture. It’s like a flower blossoming on your tongue. The floral bouquet of the Rhone varietals makes a strong appearance mid palate.
