Tres Sabores, Picpoul Blanc, Sierra Foothills, El Dorado County, California, USA 2022

A well-balanced Picpoul that certainly stings the lips but offers ample depth. Aromas of petrichor, cut green apple, lemon zest and white pepper: the palate denotes savoury dried herbs, early-season nectarine, citrus rind and fresh mint. The texture steals the show here and provides the wine's ample acidity, all it can handle. Delicious, hinting at opulence.
