2021 ENCHANTÉ ESTATE GROWN

The French love to kiss cheeks and say “Enchanté” when they greet each other.  We have named our Estate-Grown, signature white blend of Roussanne and Grenache Blanc after this expression. These two varieties are truly yin and yang.  Roussanne is rich and unctuous, while Grenache Blanc is bright and racy.  The two complement each other perfectly! We fermented and aged this wine in older French Oak barrels and one singular specially sourced new French Oak barrel, which lends a beautifully smooth texture to this dry white wine. Love Chardonnay or white Burgundy? Then you should love the richness and balanced freshness of this wine. The 2021 vintage is the richest yet with a densely viscous mouthfeel that is balanced by lively acidity. The aromas and flavors include grilled pineapple, marzipan, freshly cut hay, stone fruits, melon, and white flowers with a long and complex finish. This vintage is simply not to be missed...

"The 2021 Enchanté, Murray’s blend of Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, is bright and very nicely focused. Orchard fruit, jasmine, mint and lime are some of the many notes that grace the 2021. Clean mineral accents extend the finish nicely."    92 Points   Antonio Galloni for Vinous

"Based on 55% Roussanne and 45% Grenache Blanc, the 2021 Enchanté has more crushed citrus, pear, chalky minerality, and white flower notes to go with some classic richer, oily, nutty nuances on the palate. It's medium-bodied and has plenty of richness, followed by a clean finish. It's geared for the dinner table."    91 Points   Jeb Dunnuck
