Extreme elegance in this lovely Rhone blend from genius winemaker Neil Collins. Each year, he manages to get the most out of Paso’s westside white fruit, pioneered by the winery years ago. Each element of the blend speaks clearly, with mixed stone fruit, mild nut, melon, star fruit, and the rich Roussanne mouth feel rounding off the bright acidity of the other varieties just enough. The finish lingers without a heavy push, instead sitting in comfort. Contains 44% Viognier, 24% Marsanne, 20% Grenache Blanc and 12% Roussanne.
Tablas Creek Vineyard, Adelaida District, Paso Robles (Central Coast, California) 2017
