Treana Blanc 2019
Central Coast, California, United StatesTreana Blanc has been a highly-regarded wine, but I believe the latest offering is one of the best. The "New World" version of a Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc opens with floral/citrus mixing orange blossom and peaches. The palate is more similar with a dusting of honey, jasmine, and a tropical undertow of pineapples, apricots and honeysuckle. The texture is pleasantly rich and soft but with just the right twist of acidity to keep it all fresh — a gastronomic wine with matches that boggle the mind. The 2019 blend is 47/35/18 viognier/marsanne/roussanne. Over the years, the search for a roussanne site finally landed at the Templeton Gap and pretty much since then, the blend has begun to hit all the right notes. Of course, turkey with all the trimmings would be a good match, as would any creamy seafood dish.Tasted: 10 November 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $36.99 | 750ml | private wine stores |
