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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA beautiful nose of green orchard fruits, citrus blossoms and a flinty accent introduces the 2024 Grenache Blanc, which includes 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne.
