Caress Cuvee Blanc 2023
Caress Cuvée Blanc is our California interpretation of a Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc—though perhaps with a touch more sunshine and a slightly more relaxed disposition. It is a generous, layered white, the sort that takes its time and rewards a little patience.
The aroma rises from the glass like a small bouquet—flowers first, delicate but persistent—followed by the gentle suggestion of freshly sliced white peach and a squeeze of lime. On the palate, it is both rich and composed, with a quiet complexity that lingers agreeably.
As for the table, it is wonderfully adaptable. This is a wine that seems to settle in wherever it is placed, making itself at home with a wide range of dishes, and improving the conversation while it’s at it.
The nose comes up fast: spring flowers first, fresh and controlled, then a trace of honeysuckle riding just behind it.
On the palate, the structure holds. White peach, a hint of honeydew—nothing exaggerated, everything in balance. A line of lime cuts through the richness and keeps the finish tight.
Southern Rhône in style. Built to handle food without losing its edge.
