Klinker Brick Winery, Lodi (California) Grenache Blanc “Under the Sea” 2023 ($20)

Made from a vineyard planted in 2011 that sits 13 feet below sea level, the wine is entirely stainless steel fermented and was lees aged for 31 days. The first thing to be noted is that the color is a faint/pale straw. The bouquet starts out with direct lemon and some lime notes, and then the palate is big and plush. Peach and lime come through in the flavors that are all about freshness. Soft and creamy, it takes you to a gentle finish with just enough acidity. Fun and ever so easy to drink. 1200 cases.
