Progeny
Trinity Blanc
Mt. Veeder, Napa Valley, California, USA
Finally getting around to posting Day 5 in Napa, our final day. 5 years in a row visiting...hope to make it 6 next year!
Progeny Winery, up on Mt Veeder, was another standout during our trip. There is a shared ownership/relationship between them and O’Shaughnessy. Same winemaker too. The winery was completed 6-8months ago and is stunning.
This Trinity Blanc was so good. These Rhône whites can be hit or miss for me, but this nailed it. Equal parts Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier. Improved so much as it warmed. Viscous. Honeycomb, tart pineapple and mint aromatics with bruised pear and sea salt on the palate. Delicious.
