Double Bond, Ballard Canyon (Santa Barbara County, California) Grenache Blanc 2019

Jun 16, 2021

By Rich Cook

 Grenache Blanc may be the white grape best suited to California’s Central Coast.  In the right hands, it can be ethereal and full of life all at once, as it is in this bottling.  Taut interplay between nectarine, pineapple and citrus is an intricately choreographed dance, and the finish just keeps the music playing long after the dance is over.  A genuine treat!
