Product Overview
Winery's Notes:
"The 2020 Mélange Blanc is an exotic and expressive wine on the nose. Notes of apricot, fresh peach, and honey are met with rich orange marmalade, chamomile and ginger spice. This opulent, and textured white wine has a mouth coating waxiness, tremendous weight on the palate and balanced acidity, all leading to a long and pleasing finish."

"The 2020 Melange Blanc is quite a bit more aromatic than the 2019 tasted alongside it. Exotic Viognier notes lead into a core of ripe orchard fruit, honey, chamomile and orange confit. Despite the more challenging vintage, this is a step forward." -AG, Jul/2023
91 Points - Wine Advocate
"The 2020 Mélange Blanc was raised for 22 months in 35% new French oak. The nose is initially tropical and vibrant, displaying admirable harmony between varietals. With increased aeration, the aromas take on increased oak-derived richness, transitioning to an oily, waxy palate with enough balancing acidity to prop up the rich, decadent finish. The blend is 28% each of Viognier, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc with 16% Marsanne." -ML, 8/1/24
