So little Grenache Blanc is bottled as a varietal wine that it is impossible to say if this is typical. But it brings a flavorful mix of grapefruit, peach and melon, spiced up with cinnamon and pepper highlights. The balance of fruit and acid keeps it afloat right into a smooth finish. A fine Chardonnay alternative.——P.G.(7/1/2011)—— 89

A high-acid white, with grapefruit, pineapple and green apple fruit in the mix. This is snappy and tight, a great food wine, dappled with detailed hints of pepper, stone, citrus and finishing with orange marmalade. ——P.G.(3/1/2010)—— 88

This is 100% Grenache Blanc, still very rare in Washington, especially as a varietal bottling. It’s got plenty of acid, lighter fruit flavors and less heat in the finish than the McCrea Viognier. Fruit flavors are melon with hints of grapefruit and pineapple, but the styling overall is definitely restrained, almost European.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 88
