Critical Acclaim
WW 93 Wilfred Wong of Wine.com
COMMENTARY: While l long to return to the Rhône Valley and return a slower way of life, the 2019 Ridge Grenache Blanc provides me metaphysical return to one of my most favorite parts of France. TASTING NOTES: This wine is alluring and delicious. Its enticing aromas and flavors of ripe peach skin, tropical fruits, and sweet forest notes provide a perfect match with grilled eggplant, peppers, and mild chiles.

Ridge’s 2019 Grenache Blanc, emerges from Adelaida Vineyard in Paso Robles. Apricot, white flowers, tangerine and mint are some of the notes that grace this exquisite, vibrant Rhône blend of Grenache Blanc, Picpoul and Roussanne, with a bit more Picpoul than last year. This is such a delicious wine.

RP 92 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2019 Grenache Blanc Adelaida Vineyard combines 77% Grenache Blanc with 18% Picpoul and 5% Roussanne. It gives fresh orchard fruits with touches of beeswax, dried flowers and spices on the nose, and the light-bodied palate offers intense, earth-laced flavors with a touch of anchoring texture and a long, uplifted finish. This has enough character to drink on its own straight from bottle but will pair well with a wide variety of foods.

JD 90 Jeb Dunnuck
Coming all from the Adelaida Vineyard in Paso Robles and a blend of 77% Grenache Blanc, 18% Picpoul, and the balance Roussanne, the 2019 Grenache Blanc has a pretty bouquet of white flowers, dried herbs, stone fruits, and honeysuckle. Nicely balanced, medium-bodied, and elegant, it has good acidity, plenty of classic Grenache Blanc richness and depth, and a great finish. Drink it over the coming 3-5 years.
