2017 Turtle Rock "Willow White" Paso Robles Grenache White Blend

SKU #1415341 92 points Jeb Dunnuck

Outer quote mark Ripe peach, honeyed citrus, salty minerality, and white flower notes all emerge from the 2017 Willow White, a beautifully textured, layered, balanced white. I'd drink it over the coming 3-5 years, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it evolve longer. Inner quote mark (10/2019)

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Outer quote mark The 2017 Willow White is a blend of 62% Grenache Blanc, 20% Roussanne, 11% Viognier, and 7% Picpoul, aged 18 months in 40% new oak. It has a pretty, floral-laced nose with orange blossom, musk, toast, honey and almonds over a quince and golden apple core. The light to medium-bodied palate walks a pretty line between bright freshness and savory bass tones, finishing long and lifted. Drink through 2025. (EB) Inner quote mark (2/2020)

92 points Vinous

Outer quote mark Limpid straw-gold. Powerful, mineral-laced orchard and pit fruit scents are complicated by hints of quinine and orange zest that gain strength with air. Sappy, concentrated and seamless in the mouth, offering juicy pear nectar, white peach and tangerine flavors and a touch of smoky minerality. Closes with firm, minerally grip, impressive energy and a lingering touch of honeysuckle. 40% stainless steel tanks, 40% neutral French oak barrels and 20% new French oak barrels.

The Willow White from Turtle Rock may easily be one of my favorite white wines this year. Aromatic, and generously round, this rhone style blend from two of Paso's finest vineyards (G2 and Adelaida) has a nice touch of oak, subtle minerality, and brilliant notes of stone fruit. The Willow White is a gorgeous wine to bring to your next dinner party.

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Paso Robles

- Located about halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, this inland AVA enjoys a sunny and hot growing period while its seaside neighbors hang in the fog. Zinfandel is the traditional red grape of choice, though cabernet, chardonnay, and Rhône varietals are gaining favor. Most are made in a fruit-forward, early drinking style.
