Forlorn Hope, Calaveras County (Sierra Foothills, California) 2021

Aug 30, 2022

By Miranda Franco

 Out of the Sierra Foothills region, this is a charming skin contact-influenced blend of Verdelho, Albariño, Muscat, and Chardonnay.  It is slightly hazy (unfiltered) and flaunts a mesmerizing and vivid orange hue.  It is vibrantly perfumed; however, the flavors are the most striking, with notes of strawberry, stone, grapefruit zest, and peach pit, playing out on a lingering tannic finish. This is perfect for your next backyard get-together.
