Starfield Vineyards Hope Rising 2024, El Dorado, California
Pale lemon in color with a green hue.
Aromatic nose with limes, green apples, light earth, flowers, citrus and sweet herbs.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with lemons, red and green apples, light grapefruits, peaches, light earth, pears, herbs and light spices.
Soft finish with limes and grapefruits.
This is a delicious White Rhone blend from California. Elegant and fruit forward. Smells like a Southern Rhone white, but much fruitier on the palate.
Complex, but easy drinking. Tasty, nicely balanced and very pleasant. Neither bitter nor tart. Just delicious.
The alcohol is nicely integrated, and good right out of the bottle.
A great sipping wine, and refreshing when properly chilled.
A blend of 45% Marsanne, 45% Roussanne and 10% Viognier. Aged for 8 months in (4% new) French Oak barrels. A small production of less than 2,200 bottles.
13.4% alcohol by volume.
