Hearst Ranch Winery White Three Sisters Cuvee 2015

A blend of grenache blanc, viognier, roussanne and picpoul, this has a tropical, mango-like generosity and plumpness of fruit. For all its weight, there’s a sneaky brightness running through the wine, and pretty scents of fresh green herbs and bee pollen. It feels wholesome and satisfying.

The chalky, limestone laden soils these grapes were grown in translates to a beautiful tactile sensation on the palate. The aromatics burst with lively floral notes. Once on the palate there is an amazing interaction between the brilliant acidity and the bone-dry mineral notes. While the textures are busy playing back and forth, lush, Viognier inspired flavors delight with a delightful juiciness. The overall experience is one that is refreshing and crisp with a very elegant framework. This wine is easily paired with fish, pork, chicken, or turkey dishes.
