Theopolis Vineyards
Yorkville Highlands - Mendocino County Symphony
I was so very into this—as I have been everything I’ve tried from Theopolis! Did you know Symphony was a grape? Me neither. I wasn’t sure if a crossing of Muscat of Alexandria and Grenache Gris would be my cup of...well, wine, but in the hands of Theodora Lee it absolutely is. Silly, balanced, it is an elegant bouquet of flowers neither over nor underdone. Just right. And a welcome change of pace! One of those wines that makes me anxious to meet the winemaker because all Theopolis’ wines have an idiosyncrasy that is undefinable and intriguing. And scrumptious.

Light muscat aromas and honey.
Crisp fresh acid driven palate.

I am not usually a fan of muscat or sweeter wines, but this balance of floral notes, sweet and dry is brilliant. Buttery, but not over the top

May 26th, 2021Inspired to open this bottle after hearing from owner/winemaker, Theodora, during this week’s Batonnage panel on feminism and color in the wine industry. Needless to say. I’m very glad I did. The grape is called Symphony (MuscatxGrenache Gris), so I’ll try to refrain from music puns. Tropical fruit and floral aromatics. Acid, mineral and barely ripe stone fruit. I may have just found my wine of the summer. Paired with indian take out and Friday night zoom trivia. Harmonious!
