2009 Twisted Oak "Ruben's Blend" Calaveras County
One 750ml bottle
This wine has aromas of caramel and vanilla with pear, porcini mushroom and lemon. The palate shows off a combination of lemon, caramel and honey on toast with a side of nuts. This is a truly yummy white Rhône blend with a long creamy finish.
The Clondaire vineyard provides the Marsanne, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc for Ruben’s Blend. Elevation at the vineyard is 1400 feet. These new vines are planted on a steep southwest slope amidst rolling hills all around. The vines are on a Vertical Shoot Positioned trellis system (VSP) in order to maximize sun exposure to the leaf canopy. Soils at the site are rocky and slightly decomposed with moderate nutrient levels.
Caramel, vanilla, pear, porcini mushroom, lemon, honey, nut
