93 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2021 Fundamental White is loaded with fresh red and green apple, lemon peel, beeswax and jasmine aromas. The palate is light-bodied, rounded and wonderfully refreshing with a long, floral finish. This drinks wonderfully on its own but will be great for the table. Drink 2022-2027 (Dec 2022)"
91 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (The Wine Independent):"The 2021 White Wine is mainly Viognier, blended with Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, and Roussanne. It offers up notes of honey-drizzled pears, white peaches, and lemongrass with hints of allspice and coriander seed. The medium-bodied palate has a touch of silkiness to the texture with zippy acidity lifting the spicy pear and stone fruit flavors to a long finish. It seriously over-delivers! Drink 2022-2026 (Oct 2022)"
91 points Decanter: "This food-friendly Rhône-inspired white from California is a blend of 50% Viognier with Grenache Blanc, Marsanne and Roussanne. There's super-freshness here, allied to a textured palate with a touch of salinity that makes it perfect for a variety of dishes. Layers of stone fruit, citrus, spice and florals blend beautifully in the mouth, following alluring aromas of apple and peach, beeswax, white flowers, honey and brioche. Drinking window 2024-2026 (Dec 2023)"
90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2021 White Wine (50% Viognier, 25% Grenache Blanc, and the rest Marsanne and Roussanne) sports a medium gold hue to go with a ripe, opulent nose of caramelized peach, honeyed flowers, toasted brioche, and marmalade. It brings lots of fruit and texture, stays lively and balanced, with good freshness, and is going to shine on the dinner table with richer cuisine. (Aug 2022)"
As with past vintages, this bright, aromatic wine is made up of a blend of white Rhône varietals. We based this wine primarily in Viognier then blended it with Grenache Blanc, Roussanne, and Marsanne to add complexity, acidity and freshness. A portion of the wine was aged in neutral French oak barrels while the rest aged in a stainless steel tank. Look for citrus and banana on the nose and palate, along with a rounded mouthfeel and crisp, fresh finish. Drink this wine now or age it over the next 2 to 5 years.
