Caress Cuvee Blanc 2020

Caress is a California version of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc delivering a haunting, complex, long-lived white wine.

Aromatic and dry - definitely not sweet - the aroma is like a bouquet of flowers and the flavor is of freshly sliced white peach and lime making Caress a very food-friendly wine.

The lush style of our Cuvee Blanc is an wonderful California example of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc style of white wine.

In the glass an inviting golden color. On the nose a lovely fresh spring floral bouquet ending with a just a waft of honeysuckle.

In the mouth a nice hint of fruit flavor, perhaps white peach and honeydew melon.

This is a full-bodied white wine, typical of Southern Rhône in style. It's notes of lime and white peach makes Caress a very food-friendly wine.

Three beautiful white wines blended as a best-of-the-best cuvée to make a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc style of white wine.

This blend of 55% Viognier, 37% Roussanne and 8% Semillon is well proportioned so all the best flavor characteristics of each are revealed but non one dominates the palate.

Some new French oak with the majority being neutral Burgundy barrels.

Only 320 cases produced.
