Who could have thought the flagship white from a Napa historic estate is a Rhone blend?
And I could not tell from the nose, with lemon zest, apricot, and bruised apple presented but quite subdued. There is also notes of green veggies and hint of white floral. The palate is broad, nicely textured, and minerals. Not showing any sign of age, but I don’t think it will improve with further aging.
53% Viognier/33% Roussanne/14% Marsanne brought up in 100% stainless steel.
