The 2018 Grenache Blanc Alisos Vineyard is another gorgeous wine in this range from Kunin. Specifically, the 2018 has striking mid-palate texture and voluptuousness to play off the brighter notes that are so typical of Grenache Blanc. Orchard fruit, white flowers, and mint are some of the notes that shape the silky, pliant finish. 92 pts
The 2016 Pape Star Blonde is made up of 80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Roussanne. It has a pretty nose with grapefruit and quince hints plus lime peel, saline, white peach and white flowers with a wicked streak of crushed rock minerality. Medium to full-bodied, it has great mineral-driven character with a good core of citrus fruit, zesty acidity and a long, textured finish. 92 pts
The 2018 Viognier Stolpman Vineyard is superb. The 2018 may very well be the most elegant, refined white I have ever tasted from Stolpman. Bright floral notes complement a core of expressive varietal Viognier apricot and tangerine oil fruit. What a gorgeous wine this is. 93 pts
