R2 Wine Company Camp 4 Vineyard Grenache Blanc

R2 Wine Company Camp 4 Vineyard Grenache Blanc

Vintage: 2012
Description: The winery says: This is our third bottling of the Grenache Blanc from this beautiful Rhone vineyard in Santa Ynez and the wine seems to just keep getting better. To see this site is to think you've been transported from Northern Santa Barbara County to the Southern Rhone: deep red, iron rich rocks line the ochre tinted, gravely soil with vines seemingly sprouting right out of the stone. The nose on this beautiful light hay toned wine is a bright and energetic aroma, blending scents of white Plumeria flower interlaced with fresh pear and just a touch of citrus zest. The flavors continue this intermingling of topicality with notes of added depth. There's a heart of rich honey that runs right down the palate with layers of paraffin, more pear and a bit of wet stone spreading out from this core. The wine is still young and thus a bit restrained, but the finish is long and zippy without becoming sappy. This wine should really hit its stride come mid Summer. So just about the time the thermometer is going through the rough, we recommend icing this wine down and really enjoying.
