2022 Theresa

40% Roussanne, 21% Vermentino, 20% Grenache Blanc, 10% Marsanne, 6% Picpoul Blanc, 3% Clairette Blanche

Brightly pitched aromas of oleander, brioche, and beeswax intermingle with spicy tones of incense and nutmeg on the exceptionally complex 2022 Theresa. The palate juxtaposes rich notes of pate brisee and honey with the freshness of Meyer lemon and sea spray. The finish is textural and broad on entry, but quickly focused with precise acidity leaving you longing for more.
