2022 Frenchtown Farms "The Pearl Thief"

The "The Pearl Thief" is an intriguing white blend (50% Sauv Blanc / 50% Semillon)  that defies easy categorization. Aromas of orchard blossoms and Meyer lemon peel intertwine with an almost saline minerality, hinting at the vineyard's proximity to the Sierra Foothills. On the palate, the wine displays a remarkable tension between its zesty acidity and a weighty, almost oily texture. Flavors of white peach and quince linger on the finish, punctuated by a subtle herbaceous note reminiscent of lemongrass. This is a wine that demands contemplation and rewards those who take the time to unravel its complexities.
