Turtle Rock is one of my favorites in Paso Robles. Elegant and honestly beautiful packaging but it’s what’s inside, that really shines. This Rhône style white blend is dominant in Grenache blanc. Deep impressive color. Heady nose of dried straw, citrus, vanilla bean and light oak. Waxy but still super fresh. Yummm!

Enjoying this blend of 53% Granache Blanc, 34% Roussanne, and the rest Viognier and Picpoul. Nice.

A seriously great white Rhône blend from the folks at turtle rock. Thanks to Claudia for meeting with us on her day off to taste these beauties. Mostly Grenache blanc but the viognier really shows through on the nose with the Roussanne speaking volumes on the palate. Lovely wine. Great energy but definitely a mouth full too

17’ Turtle Rock Willow White. An abundance of orchard fruit. Drink at room temperature! I’ll have to go out & purchase a few more. Fantastic!
Turtle Rock...is something you should put on your list of wines to purchase from Paso.

63% Grenache Blanc 28% Roussanne 5% Picpoul 4% Viognier. Quite heavy on the palate and appeared a little prematurely aged. Waxy honeycomb with Jasmine flowers.
