2015 The First Date
Rhône white blend of Grenache Blanc and Roussanne. This has the spark of a First Date. The good kind of First Date. It's exciting, a little restrained at first, with flavors subtly showing up in harmony, then finishes with a nice bit of acidity.

Winemaker Notes
Extremely floral on the palate, it is lush, exotic and concentrated with a focus on tropical fruit, roasted nuts, and honey. The minerality of this wine is its backbone and help to carry it to the finish.
