Description
This is our new white counterpart to our 2016 Moshina Red Blend that we recently released to our wine club members. In true mosh pit fashion, it’s a non-traditional blend of grapes that wouldn’t be found together anywhere in the old country, something Paso Robles has become synonymous for.
We had some barrel fermented Marsanne and Roussanne from the west side but felt we needed a little something else to take it to another level. Knowing that there were no blending restrictions for this wine, we opted for a little Gewurztraminer, something I had been doing with another highly regarded wine that I’ve made in the past. Gewurztraminer can completely overwhelm a wine if there’s even one extra percent in the blend so we worked extra hard to get this one right. It’s our sensational Rhonesation wine.

Blending savant Adam LaZarre reaches into his edgy side for this wildly aromatic white. Bright lemon, lime, stone fruit, jasmine tea, and pear burst out of the glass at nosing, and the palate delivers on the promise, with a seductive texture chased by a lively acid pop that waters your mouth and entices you back for more. I think Adam would agree that a blend of unusual suspects makes for the best mosh pit at a concert and so it is in this bottle. Serve with an eclectic playlist when it comes to food pairings. Contains 60% Marsanne, 30% Roussanne and 10% Gewurztraminer. 92 points – Rich Cook Feb 5, 2019
