TASTING NOTES

Our 2006 Heritage Blanc is a classic Rhône-style blend of Roussanne (50%) and Viognier (50%) from our estate vineyards and Vogelzang Vineyard in the Santa Ynez Valley. It begins with delicate aromas of honeycomb, lilac and pear. The palate is rich and creamy, with flavors of peach, apricot and passion fruit. A refreshing mineral undercurrent lingers on a long, balanced finish.

Winemaker Chuck Carlson

CURTIS HERITAGE SERIES

Inspired by the pleasurable table wines of the southern Rhône Valley, Winemaker Chuck Carlson established our Heritage Series to offer unique, flavorful cuvées for everyday enjoyment. These wines hail from small vineyards along California’s Central Coast, where Rhône varietals excel amid the coastal Mediterranean climate. After aging, the individual lots are blended with an emphasis on approachability and complexity. Curtis Heritage Series wines are widely acclaimed for offering exceptional value and quality.
