Ridge Grenache Blanc Paso Robles Adelaida Vineyard 2019

93 points and 'Editors' Choice,' Wine Enthusiast: "Very fresh and pure aromas of honeysuckle, coconut cream and a light kiss of wood show on the nose of this unique bottling, which includes 18% Picpoul and 5% Roussanne. The wine is expertly balanced on the palate, which is smooth with honeydew yet flecked with flashes of lime peel. Alcohol 14%. (Dec 2020)"

92 points Erin Brooks (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Grenache Blanc Adelaida Vineyard combines 77% Grenache Blanc with 18% Picpoul and 5% Roussanne. It gives fresh orchard fruits with touches of beeswax, dried flowers and spices on the nose, and the light-bodied palate offers intense, earth-laced flavors with a touch of anchoring texture and a long, uplifted finish. This has enough character to drink on its own straight from bottle but will pair well with a wide variety of foods. 880 cases were made. Drink: 2020-2025. (Feb 2021)"

92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "Ridge’s 2019 Grenache Blanc, emerges from Adelaida Vineyard in Paso Robles. Apricot, white flowers, tangerine and mint are some of the notes that grace this exquisite, vibrant Rhône blend of Grenache Blanc, Picpoul and Roussanne, with a bit more Picpoul than last year. This is such a delicious wine. Drink: 2021-2027. (Sep 2020)"

Producer notes: "77% Grenache Blanc, 18% Picpoul, 5% Roussanne. Translucent gold color. Aromas of yellow pear, green plum, orange blossoms, and sweet oak. Enters with juicy, tart citrus fruits, lively acidity, with medium-body fullness; lengthy lime-zest aftertaste. Alcohol 14.0%."
