Located on the eastern hills of Napa Valley, the historic Priest Ranch is home to 240 acres of vineyard planted along the hillsides of its more than 1,600-acre property. Though known most widely for Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc, the ranch’s landscape (reminiscent of the Southern Rhône Valley), led to an experimental planting of Grenache Blanc, which has proven exceptionally successful. With aromas of ripe stone fruit and fleshy lemon pulp, this wine offers a broad palate with medium body and a bright and refreshing finish — an excellent match for roasted squash or the traditional turkey dinner.
