Hall hits all the right notes with this unusual white Rhône blend of Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Piquepol Blanc. It’s a fascinating wine, dry and crisp, with honeyed flavors of white peach, nectarine and Meyer lemon. Tastes really good and has that all-important extra touch of complexity.

Robert Hall 2006 Sauvignon Blanc (Paso Robles)

Stylishly dry, with acidic citrus, green grapes skin and lime-zest flavors that are zesty on the palate. Twenty percent barrel fermentation and sur lie aging provide a touch of vanilla cream and tastebud-stimulating sourness. A wine that will showcase food without overpowering it.

Dry and balanced, this is a great food wine, with its crunchy acidity and minerality. A combination of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Piquepol, it shows nuanced flavors of the zests of Meyer lemons and limes, figs and green melons.
