Winestyr Review

This is a delightful and versatile Rhone style white blend by Kivelstadt Cellars. 40% Marsanne, 40% Roussanne, and 20% Viognier, this wine is floral on the nose and opens up to vibrant tropical fruit flavors in your mouth with a bit of spice. The three varietals were harvested together and co-fermented, then aged for six months on the lees in neutral French oak, giving this wine enough weight to please Chardonnay fans while also having enough acidity and fruit to please fans of Sauvignon Blanc. This would be a great choice for your house white wine. 91pts and Editor's Choice from Wine Enthusiast. 450 cases produced.

Kivelstadt Cellars

After leaving a career in consulting in his early twenties, Founder and Winemaker Jordan Kivelstadt traveled the world making wine in California, Australia, Chile, and Argentina. In 2007, Jordan made 125 cases of Estate Syrah. He drew inspiration both from his winemaking experiences in the new world and his family’s passion for European cuisine, art, and wine culture. Jordan has focused on exploring the product of incredible California vineyards, with a nod toward the rich history and balance of the old world wines. Production has grown to 3,500 cases annually and the Kivelstadt Cellars wines are featured on wine lists at some of the best restaurants in the country.

I generally liked this one, but it wasn't anything special to write home about. Mild, approachable. A bit woody.
