If you like your Grenache Blanc on the lively side, this is a bottle you will appreciate for wet sidewalk and mixed stone fruit aromatics. Uber-ripe melon and peach flavors ride zippy acidity through a long finish with a nice stony pop. If someone handed you a glass of this Anaba Grenache Blanc you might not peg it within the varietal parameters that you are used to from points south in California, but trust me — it works.
