Kuhlman Cellars

Escondido Valley Sauvignon Blanc 2016

Rather enjoyable SB and another really nice TX white wine produced by Benedicte Rhyne from Aix-en-Provence! Lemongrass nose. Entry is lemon and granny smith apple. Entry of this wine is acidic, the middle a little more velvety. Finish definitely has a nice little citrus component. Probably rating this one a little low actually, and compared to other SB's, this one is more on the lighter side. — 9 years ago

@Shawn R Awesome!! They are my favorite down there. Benedicte, Jeremy, Oscar Iga and the Cobb Family are an awesome bunch of folks!!!

Bénédicte & Stéphane Tissot

Vieilles Vignes Sans Souffre Poulsard 2012

The nose of this intriguing biodynamically-farmed Jura red is slightly reminiscent of a good Cru Beaujolais, laden with aromas of decaying rose petals, Vietnamese cinnamon, stale pomander ball, and stemmy raspberries, all anchored by a touch of earthy-musky-funk. Benedicte & Stephane Tissot Poulsard Vieilles Vignes 2012 is light-to-medium bodied, slightly rustic and slightly spare, with bright acidity coursing through layers wild salmon berries, cranberries and tart rose hips. — 11 years ago

Kuhlman Cellars

Roussanne 2014

2014 Roussanne from a Texas winery, winemaker Benedicte Rhyne from Aix-en-Provence. Not current vintage, although current vintage is sold out too!This one sells out fast, and no question why. Acid up front is more attenuated, peach and kiwi have started to replace lemongrass and honeydew noted a year ago. This is the first Texas white I have been confident to age a year or longer. Based on this expression today, I have a feeling this one has a lot more ahead, quite easily! Nice finish with sharper acidity. Cheers! — 9 years ago

Kuhlmanation

Estate Grown White 2017

@Delectable Wine this is the new Kuhlmanation White blend which is 60 Marsanne and 40 Roussanne. It was released about a week ago and therefore not in the database.

I cannot say enough positive things about the winemaker here, Benedicte is a fantastic wine maker from Provence, and this 60-40 split is no exception. Started out with a lot of tart lime and lemon rind with quite a bit of acidity. Not only did this calm down as the wine oxidized, but also calmed down with food. This one had everything from grapefruit to Kiwi, lime to melon, and really did soften and round out in the finish to a really nice white wine that has 14% ABV and a rather solid chance to age for another five to seven years. I am always impressed with the white wines offered by this producer. Doing incredible things!
