During the month of January, the Wednesday Wine Committee has a unique format...the sparkler, whites and dessert wines can be from any vintage and any location, but the reds must be from the 2007 vintage. It was my first time providing a wine for a lunch, so I was excited to see how it showed. As always, all wines were served blind.
My guess here was Alsatian or German pinot Gris. This was fairly oily on the palate. Small bit of petrol. Some guessed Sauv Blanc, but it wasn’t tart or acidic enough in my mind. Unique.

It's a mix of Grenache Blanc 56%, Viognier 23%, Roussanne 12% and Marsanne 9%. The nose is citrus and yellow and white florals. Lots of grapefruit, grapefruit pit, green apple, apricot, lemon, crushed rocks, saline and nice acidity.

This wine delivers an almost obscene amount of pleasure for the money. The texture is gorgeous with a tensile juxtaposition to the weight of the Viognier.

California Rhône Style White Blend. White flowers and pears on the nose. Grapefruit, Apricot, Lemon and Herbs on the pallet. A bit of saline on the finish. Good wine!
