Forget the bouquet, bring home the flower shop!
Nothing gets the dopamine flowing quite like a trip to the local plant and flower emporium. We love getting lost in the green leaves, botanicals and little trinkets scattered about. This blend of Roussane, Marsanne, Viognier, Chardonnay and Grenache Blanc serves up all that and more –here to bring you a splash of sunshine and remind you that spring is soon on its way.
Plucked from the vines at David Girard Vineyard in early September, the grapes were delicately pressed to minimize skin contact and fermented in stainless steel tanks before aging 6 months in neutral French oak barrels.
This wine will have you kicking the winter blues and thinking of fresh blooms in no time. The color of creamy hydrangeas and pale yellow roses, Flowershop smells like misty mornings in spring, packed with notes of green apple, lime zest and orange blossoms.
We keep coming back to the varieties of Northern Rhone, and for good reason. As soon as this wine kisses your tongue, you’ll be met with a wave of kiwi, honeysuckle, and cotton candy with a zippy acidity and zesty finish. The wine is silky, yet crisp and clean. Pair it with Dungeness crab and spring vegetables and you’ll have a meal you won’t soon forget.
