In the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, where rolling hills and sun-drenched vineyards stretch as far as the eye can see, this unique blend was born. A 50/50 blend of Grenache Gris and Grenache Blanc, each variety lends its character to create a luscious, vibrant wine. Delightful for casual sipping, this wine greets the palate with a burst of juicy brightness and lively notes of honeydew melon and tangerine.
This blend comes up is rich and viscous on the tongue. Walnut and shades of Japanese pear fill the palate alongside very delicate red fruits. Dense and polished, with a strong salinity, enjoy now and over the next few years. Drink 2025-2031- 91 Owen Bargreen
Wine Enthusiast 92 A great example of why Pinot Gris does better on its skins. A darker pink-orange in the glass, this bottling begins with aromas of crushed plum, dusty earth and rosewater. The palate sizzles with acidity and benefits from a chalky texture, as bright flavors of raspberry and orange peel make for a fun sip. —Matt Kettmann
