Syncline 2011 Boushey Vineyard Grenache Blanc (Yakima Valley)

Country: US / Boushey Vineyard
Variety: Grenache Blanc Washington
Winery: Syncline / Yakima Valley

Syncline’s winemaker James Mantone is putting out a fascinating lineup of single-vineyard 100%-varietal wines from unusual grapes like Grenache Blanc. Lime and grapefruit scents and flavors are evident, along with light Asian pear and jicama highlights. The cool vintage emphasizes a gin-like botanical flavor. This is a balanced effort, with a medium-long finish.
