The 2022 White Blend is composed of 50% Chardonnay, 18% Chenin Blanc, 14% Gruner Veltliner, 10% Albariño, and 8% Viognier matured for 10 months in 35% new French oak. It has inviting aromas of white peach, beeswax, freshly baked bread, and soft green herbs. The medium-bodied palate features layered flavors, a satiny texture, fresh acidity, and a long, fragrant finish. Drink 2024-2030. —E.B.
What We Thought: A dramatic nose of honeysuckle and ripe pear leads to a big, viscous, oozingly ripe palate of more ripe pear and apricot-influenced stone fruit supported by just enough acidity to make it work. It's not necessarily an easy wine to pair food with, but who cares?
