Local Pickup Only

We're a sucker for a Rhone style white, and this does not disappoint. Idaho only was allocated one case - and we got a few! Excited to share this white blend with you.

From their website:

Vintage 2023 / (White Rhone Blend). The most common question we get asked after pouring this wine for friends is “When can I buy it???”  Well, here you go!  “Flowers Make Me Think of You” is 55% Grenache Blanc, 33% Roussanne, 9% Clairette Blanche, and 3% Viognier from WeatherEye Vineyard’s northeast-facing slopes.  We sourced this fruit from a combination of bushvine, echalas-trained, and double guyot VSP (vertical shoot positioned) blocks, some with very high vine densities and others spaced as wide as 11 ft x 11 ft!  The various training systems and spacings allow us to dial-in how much sun, wind, and heat the grape clusters are exposed to—giving us a unique combination of fruit characteristics and flavors for each variety.  In the cellar, winemaker Seth Kitzke was able to bring out the texture of this blend by barrel-fermenting it with native yeast, coaxing it through a long malolactic fermentation while aging on the lees, and raising it in a new 500L French oak puncheon (Tonnellerie Damy). We think the results are flat-out delicious.  Only 50 cases made.
