Antonio Galloni Vinous – (90 – 92) Pts The 2022 Chenin Blanc Jurassic Park Natural saw 21 days on the skins. That approach results in a wine with more texture and a bit lower acidity than the Jurassic Park Chenin, along with a slightly tropical profile. I haven't always loved this wine, but the 2022 is an especially refined edition, and a wine that deserves serious attention.
93 pts Robert Parker The 2022 Viognier Camp Four Vineyard is scented of white peach, honeysuckle and white pepper with stony mineral tones. The medium-bodied palate is very well balanced, its creamy, floral fruit enlivened by fresh acidity, and it has a long, elegant finish. I love this understated style of Viognier!
This vintage delivered a tremendously pretty wine with an exotic nose of white flowers, almost saline minerality and rich mouth feel. Open the bottle and you will find a red wine lover’s white wine – textured, complex and cellar worthy. Our 2022 is leaner than other vintages. It is a rare white that will actually reward aging. Time with air in the glass will show the true character.
A blend of 75% Grenache Blanc, 25% Roussanne from vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley, Pape Star Blonde is our homage to Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc. The Grenache Blanc provides an exotic nose of white flowers and spice, while the Roussanne balances things out with its waxy richness. This wine is clean and refreshing but has enough weight and presence to match most anything on your table.
Our 2024 wine is a stunner - racy and expressive with rich layers and aromas of passionfruit, lemongrass, dandelion and tropical fruit. This pretty white holds its place next to the wines of Sancerre and Marlborough.
