2006 Inspiration Camp 4 Vineyard
Sourced equally from the Camp4 Vineyard and Rodney’s Vineyard, the blend is 35% Roussanne, 15% Marsanne, 35% Viognier and 15% Grenache Blanc.
Picked in late September, the wine was aged for 10 months in a combination of one-year-old and neutral oak barrels, which help to add structure to the wine without imparting any overt oak flavors to the wine. While the wine has a hint of sweetness due to threshold levels of residual sugar, the overall acidity ensures a clean finish. Aromas of Asian pear, jasmine, and guava are most apparent on the nose, along with white nectarine, honeydew, beeswax and vanilla.
On the palate you will recognize rich flavors of apricot, tropical fruit, honeysuckle, pear, lemon zest and vanilla. If you are looking for a different twist on a refreshing white wine to enjoy over brunch or to kick off an evening gathering, give this Rhone blend a try. 224 cases made.
