Remix Wines — Old Vines White 2019 — Redwood Valley, Mendocino County, California. United States 🇺🇸
Overview:
A California-crafted white blend created by Master Sommelier Willie Scherer under the Remix Wines label, driven predominantly by old-vine Sauvignon Blanc planted in 1942 by the Lolonis family in Redwood Valley, with a smaller portion of Sémillon layered in for texture and depth. The style nods toward a Bordeaux Blanc sensibility while expressing bright California energy and vineyard heritage.
Aromas & Flavors:
Fresh grapefruit, white pear, ripe apricot, subtle citrus oil, light oak influence, and a clean mineral thread.
Mouthfeel:
Bright, dry, and energetic with a creamy mid-palate texture. Lively acidity keeps the wine lifted while subtle oak and old-vine concentration add quiet richness and length.
Food Pairings:
Grilled halibut or sea bass, roast chicken with herbs, citrus-driven salads, goat cheese, shellfish, or lightly spiced Mediterranean dishes.
Personal Pick:
This is not your everyday white blend — it scratches my Bordeaux Blanc itch while keeping a distinctly Californian personality. I love it as a conversation bottle when I want to surprise people who think they’ve “seen it all” in Sauvignon Blanc.
Verdict:
A distinctive, old-vine-driven white delivering complexity, texture, and originality. Excellent for adventurous palates and collectors of character-driven blends.

Great stuff. Length and depth is really impressive. Floral and succulent fleshy fruit nose. Hints of perfume. A lurking wine, starting soft and finishing strong with a burst of puckery acidity. Tension filled. — 10 years ago
In an ongoing tour through natural Mexican wine, this stands out. Both rustic and focused, this reads like good, young Rioja. Fruit, leather, bay. — 2 years ago
Earth and mushroom on the nose. Vibrant wine, young spring peach. Tropical fruit: — 4 years ago
Ke$ha's Sleazy (Remix) melted down into a slurry of liquid cherry rock candy, poured into a mold of Lil Wayne, left to harden, then shattered and polished, and set into oversized pinkie rings. — 10 years ago
Early dinner at Saison, first wine pairing but I will probably forget the rest...will be a good night...they just started Journey as part of their 1980s remix so I faithfully believe so... — 11 years ago
