Description

Inspiration is a white Rhône style blend with tropical aromas of white flowers, jasmine and honeydew melon intertwined with hints of vanilla, nectarine and orange marmalade. Tangerine, vanilla and almond flavors flood the palate followed by hints of honeysuckle and lemon cream.

Pair with shellfish, chicken, pork and vegetable dishes prepared with savory butter or creamsauces.

Wine Critic Reviews
"…classy, polished and wonderfully elegant. Lemon confit, citrus, white flowers, mint, tangerine peel and bright mineral accents all come together in this tasty and distinctive white." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "Easily my favorite white in the lineup, the 2021 Inspiration White checks in as 44% Grenache Blanc, 28% Marsanne, 14% Roussanne, and 14% Viognier. This crisp, medium-bodied, elegant white has beautiful peach and quince fruits, some chalky, honeyed minerality, nicely integrated acidity, and a layered, absolutely delicious style that’s perfect for drinking over the coming 3-4 years." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "Lightly earthy on the nose, this blend of 44% Grenache Blanc, 28% Marsanne, 14% Roussanne and 14% Viognier offers aromas of lemon peel and restrained nectarine. The texture is chalky on the palate, with flavors of fresh lemon and white pepper." ~ Wine Enthusiast
