R2 2012 Camp 4 Vineyard Grenache Blanc (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Camp 4 Vineyard
Variety: Grenache Blanc California
Winery: R2 / Santa Ynez Valley

There are nicely complex layers to the nose of this wine from the Sonoma-based R2, featuring apricot, vanilla and tropical mango candy. On the palate are warmer, fleshier fruit flavors of cooked apples, a touch of guava and some caramel notes, with a tad of bitter greens too. It’s a little hot.
