Scents of orange blossoms and fennel introduce this supple white, delivering lovely richness without weight. Its flavors of Meyer lemon and fresh cream meet talc-like acidity, turning the wine savory. Pour it with sea bass roasted with fennel and capers.

Tasting Panel
The spicy nose precedes a lush, aromatic flavor profile centered around a core of crisp acidity. Deep and nicely balanced from a great Paso winery, this wine represents a variety that’s quickly gaining traction.
Producing full-bodied white wines, Grenache Blanc can be unctuous and soft or floral and fresh. Some of the finest examples are terroir-driven, age-worthy wines. It is a key ingredient in white Châteauneuf-du-Pape and many white blends across southern France and NE Spain. Somm Secret—Grenache Blanc plays a key role in the vins doux naturels of Rivesaltes and a subsidiary role in those of Banyuls and Maury.
