Here's an interesting find from Browne Family Vineyards who make a range of different, and very delicious wines, including their estate Cabernet Sauvignon which we've enjoyed on a number of occasions (Heritage Cab too).
This time they're giving us a Columbia Valley white blend comprised of 60% Sauvignon Blanc and 40% Pinot Gris delivered in a nice big 1L bottle.
Wine Enthusiast went 90 points (spot on) and called this bottle a "hidden gem." We didn't see a vintage anywhere on the bottle, but we assume this is the same 2024 that they tasted.
Price-wise, Costco is bringing it in at $15.99 which looks pretty good compared to online prices we found ranging from $19-$24.
On first taste, this one impressed; it's a pale yellow-gold in the glass, citrus fruit aromas; lively and fun; medium body; light acidity, nice depth to the fruit; mostly lemon, pear and guava; some mineral notes mid palate, pleasant all around and into the finish.
This is a serious summer treat, just too easy to drink. We grilled out some Mediterranean chicken and vegetables which paired perfectly on a warm summer night.
