SOLD OUT * Curran Grenache Blanc 2006
Santa Ynez Valley, CaliforniaMay, 2007 This is one of the most eagerly awaited releases at CoWineCo every year, dwarfed only by that other offering from winemaker Kris Curran in late May (hint: it rhymes with blee-schmoke).
Well, where to start with this wine.....some have called it "Spring in a glass".... others call it, "that wine that accidentally falls into my tummy by the bottle-full" ... ok, maybe that was us.
Grenache Blanc is one of those varietals you need to try to appreciate. The aromatics are floral, but light, with a silky texture and flavors of honey and fresh citrus fruit. But a good Grenache Blanc, like Kris Curran's, has that bookend of acidity that always turns a good wine into a real sensory experience if done right. The acidity tingles back in your jaw bone just enough to make you need, not want, but need that next sip.
We're guessing this is the last year you're going to be able to get a wine made by Kris's hands for under $25 and we believe this one is worth every penny. We have limited quantities of this wine so first come, first served. ** $24.99/bottle. What to eat with a Grenache Blanc? Crab. Lots and lots and lots of rich crab by itself or dressed up lightly.
