93 points Brianne Cohen (Decanter): " The white sibling from the celebrated James Berry vineyard. A complex nose of ripe pears, citrus blossoms and an exotic saffron note. Mouthwatering acidity and waxiness up front, green fruits in the middle and lactic notes rounding up the rear. Complexity shines through from the Grenache Blanc and Roussanne blended with Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay. Demands food for supreme enjoyment. To be released in spring 2024. Drinking Window: 2023-2031. (8/22/23)"
Producer notes: "44% Grenache Blanc, 29% Roussanne, 20% Chenin Blanc, 7% Chardonnay. I like to think that we are getting better and better at making this wine, or maybe our Grenache Blanc vines are producing better and better fruit, or maybe its just that ’21 was an exceptional year for whites. Whatever the reasons, I’m really enjoying our one and only white. If you have enjoyed our past whites I think you will like this one even better. Brought up in huge 600L demi-muid barrels, with 4 of the 6 being new, it spent a full 22 months on its lees before racking clean and bottling. It is full and rich, yet bright and lively. The magical combo I always look for in a white…actually in any wine really. 347 cases produced. Alcohol 15.7%. Drink: now-2035."
