| Winemaker’s Notes: |
A classic southern Rhône Valley white blend, our Côtes de Paso Blanc offers a beautifully complex bouquet of white flowers, ripe peach, and toasted hazelnuts. Rich on the palate, its peach cobbler and lemon-lime flavors segue into a long finish enlivened by a refreshing minerality. Delicious to sip on its own, this unique wine is also a wonderful complement to pate, seafood and poultry, and creamy, soft-ripening cheeses. Enjoy it over the next 2-3 years.
