Barrel 27 High On The Hog White Wine Paso Robles 2009

Barrel 27

Our Rhone-style White Blend is back, like the 2008, the 2009 is dominated by Grenache Blanc and Viognier, with all the fruit coming from the Paso Robles appellation. A bright straw gold in color, with a seductive nose dominated by scents of honeysuckle, dried pineapple, and a wet slate mineral note; supported by fragrances of gardenia, lily, Cling peach, macadamia, and hazelnut. On the palate the big, rich body shows off intense flavors of dried stone fruits, honeycomb and candied citrus zests, which evolve into floral and mineral elements during the long finish. Crisp acidity balances out the wine's dense weight and loads of fruit, making this a lively and complex white, perfect with food or on its own.
