Critical Acclaim
". . .the 2021 Tumbled Granite White is expressive, floral and elegantly focused with aromas of white peach, honeysuckle and jasmine and subtle notions of yellow cherry and cereal grains. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers a fresh and oaky mouthfeel, elegant stone fruit flavors, delightful brown baking spices of vanilla crème brûlée and cardamom madeleines. The wine ends with a long, spicy, pure finish demonstrating power, precision and finesse." - Anthony Muller, Wine Advocate
"This barrel-fermented blend of Viognier and Roussane is creamy goodness. Aromas of apricots, white peaches and cotton candy fill the air. The wine's viscous mouthfeel is perfect, as flavors of orange Creamsicle, roasted hazelnuts and a lemon verbena tisane put you into a Condrieu state of mind." - Michael Alberty
Tasting Notes
