Lucky You, a linked Palate Character!

This is a predominantly Rich & Full wine, but it shares structural nuances of Balance & Finesse as described in the tasting note below.

Tasting Notes
Medium-plus bodied straddling Rich & Full and Balance & Finesse, there are aromas of orange peel, peach, and guava fruit, followed by tarragon and white flowers. Flavors of lanolin and spice linger in the salty and mineral-driven finish.

Why this wine made the cut…
Deftly balances power and finesse.
GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Marsanne
30% Mar-SAN
Marsanne is principally a Rhone varietal (can also be found in the U.S. and Australia) that makes full-bodied wines with moderate acidity. However, it is often blended with Roussanne and Viognier, especially in the Northern Rhone, to make rich wines with floral aromatics.
Bourboulenc
30% Boor-boo-LENK
White wine grape varietal principally found in Southern France, often blended with other grape varietals adding good acidity, smoke, and/or citrus flavor components to the wine.
Carignan Blanc
30% Ca-ree-NYAN BLANG
Vermentino
5% Ver-men-TEE-no
Vermentino is a light to medium bodied crisp, but aromatic high-quality white wine that flourished near the sea in northern Italy, southern France and on the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. The wines combine an almost salty minerality that mimics its seaside origins with citrus and pitted fruit with some floral and spice notes.
Grenache Blanc
5% Gre-NASH BLON
In warm areas, Grenache Blanc makes rich wines, and is often blended with more crisp varietals for balance. That said, it is at its best when grown at higher elevations, keeping the acid and sugar and balancing roundness with fresh acidity and minerality.
