2009 Grenache Blanc
$25.00
93% Grenache Blanc, 7% Viognier Sourced from Camp 4 Vineyard in Los Olivos, the 2008 Grenache Blanc was 100% barrel fermented in seasoned French Oak barrels using my Silver isolated yeast. Delicate floral aromas & a beautiful mouthfeel of ripe pear & apple fruit balanced by acid and mineral notes. The minerality develops as the wine opens up, becoming more defined and complex with a textured grip to the mid-palate. The finish focuses the exciting midpalate into a long lingering lip smacking end. Only 12.9% alcohol, perfect with delicate flavored seafood. Match with sea bass, yellowtail, shrimp, crab & lobster. Drink now through 2016. 144 cases bottled. Rhone Report 90 points, Dec 2011 "Beautifully fresh and crisp, yet with solid complexity, depth, and richness, the 2009 Silver Grenache Blanc Camp 4 Vineyard, 93% Grenache Blanc and 7% Viognier, boasts notes of lime, orange peel, fresh bread, and wet slate on the nose. Medium-bodied, lithe and juicy on the palate, with good ripeness, this focuses up beautifully on the finish with racy acidity. Drink bottles over the coming 4-5 years.- Jeb Dunnuck " |
