Inglenook Blancaneaux 2020
Rutherford, Napa Valley, California, United StatesBlancaneaux, or “white waters,” is named after one of the Family Coppola hideaway hotels in Belize. A rare Rhône blend since 2003, the ‘20 is a 36/33/31 of organic viognier, marsanne, and roussanne. The colour is medium yellow but don’t be fooled. The style, although intense, is very fresh and juicy. It pitches intense Meyer lemon curd upfront before a creamy honeysuckle, white peach kicks in. It spends eight months on lees in 60 percent stainless steel and 40 percent French oak (22 percent new).Tasted: 04 October 2022Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $129.99 | 750ml | speculative listing - Trialto Wine Group |
