The 2023 White Dragon is a delight to drink! Aromatically the wine shimmers with lime oils, bright pineapple, soft lily, and confectioner sugar. Over time the wine becomes a more vibrant and playful wine with hints of green apple candy and a palate that tickles like a light spritz. The finish of the wine rounds out with a nice nostalgia of freshly baked white bread and shortbread cookie.
This blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre is styled like the traditional wine blend of the Rhône region in France. The wine offers brightness from the Grenache, dark berry flavor from the Syrah and is complimented by the velvety texture of the Mourvèdre.
One of our favorite blends to make each year. The Three Cousins - Syrah, Petitie Sirah and Mourvedre - shows layers of complexity in this vintage's blend that we are thrilled with. With 20 months in a blend of French and American oak barrels, it is bound to continue to impress!
