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 Robert Parker
The 2019 Pape Star Blonde is straight-up impressive and reminds me of a great Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc. A blend of 80% Grenache Blanc and 20% Roussanne, it has ripe quince and pineapple fruits, some honeyed herb and toasty notes, medium body, and a layered, textured, yet light-on-its-feet style on the palate that's going to shine on the dinner table. 94 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
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.
Our 2022 Pinot Blanc does recall a richer Chardonnay. The wine is mouth filling, dense and creamy with flavors of pear, green fig and marzipan. Ample acidity balances things out, the wine is clean finishing and bright.
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.
The 2023 Chenin Blanc Jurassic Park is such a classy wine. Bright, aromatic and vibrant, the 2023 is compelling. Crushed rocks, flowers, citrus peel, sage, mint and chamomile all grace this vibrant, understated white. 93 pts Antonio Galloni
Juicy, bright and delicious, this GSM rosé is the perfect little wine for so many occasions - brunch, cocktails, light supper. It's easy drinking and always charming.
Our 2023 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.
