Ridge Grenache Blanc 2024

Bright and beautifully textured, this Paso Robles white blend reveals layers of citrus, white peach, chamomile, and saline minerality. Vibrant acidity and refined richness create an elegant Rhône-inspired wine with remarkable freshness, precision, and a long polished finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs best with seared scallops, roasted chicken, grilled shrimp, creamy seafood pasta, soft cheeses, and Mediterranean-inspired cuisine.

94 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of honeysuckle, nuts, orchard fruit, lemon confit and fresh herbs, with a slight saline edge. The palate is mid-weighted and textural, with bright acidity and a strong core of fruit. It will only get better with time in the bottle.

Aged in stainless steel, neutral oak, concrete, and amphora, this results in a remarkably bright, saline-driven example. This Paso Robles bottling comes from three different vineyards. Taut freshness, the limestone soils definitely play a role, says John Olney. Savoury herbals and plenty of mineral lift. Fresh citrus and smoky, flinty stone notes persist throughout the finish in this Rhône white, focused on the purity of fruit.

93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck

With 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne, the 2024 Grenache Blanc spends eight months in five-year-old barrels, able to retain crisp acidity on the lengthy, textured palate, the grapes sourced from such great local sites as Adelaida, Fossil Creek, and Halter Ranch. Apricot shines bright amidst a floral jasmine character that's impressively inviting, balanced, and enduringly fresh.

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

A beautiful nose of green orchard fruits, citrus blossoms and a flinty accent introduces the 2024 Grenache Blanc, which includes 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne. The palate is buoyant, focused and padded with a touch more textural breadth and depth than I've observed in recent vintages. It concludes with the snappy, tangy energy and mineral undercurrent that perennially characterizes this bottling.

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast

Pear peel, tart orange and jicama aromas converge with a light waft of smoke on the nose of this bottling, which comes from three vineyards and includes 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne. The palate is broadly crafted with baked apple and smoked chicken flavors that are cut by an iron-like minerality.
