A blend of 40% Roussanne, 25% Grenache Blanc, 15% Marsanne and the balance Picpoul and Vermentino, the 2013 Theresa is a stunning white. Perfumed, pure and lively, with pretty white peach, lemon, mineral and assorted floral nuances, this hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, integrated acidity and a clean, dry finish. It’s a great white to pair with food over the coming 2-3 years.
As always, I had a great visit with winemaker Anthony Yount. The wines continue to go from strength to strength, and at this point, are a match for anything coming out of the west side of Paso Robles. These are high-quality wines that merit attention.
