White Rhone blend from Paso Robles comprised of 50% Grenache Blanc, 50% Roussanne

Paso Robles is not often thought of as an area that excels at white wines. After all, the region was founded through making massive zinfandels. However…we happen to love Paso’s white wines.  After a long day of tasting big reds, sometimes all we want is to sip a crisp white. Because of Paso’s hot days, Resolution always has a generosity of fruit and a rounded mid-palate, while the cool nights and limestone soil preserve the acidity and offers great palate texture. This wine is fermented and aged in large-format neutral French-oak barrels to accentuate all of this.  Composition: 40% Viognier, 30% Grenache Blanc, 20% Roussanne, 10% Picpoul Blanc

This year presented us with an opportunity to craft a new wine to showcase the uniqueness of the vintage. Cordant is known for producing both vineyard-designated and blended wines, such as our southern-Rhone inspired “Maniacal” GSM.  So it seemed only fitting that we craft a northern-Rhone inspired blend to showcase our cooler-climate Syrah vineyards. The result is the first release of “Indocile”. Sourcing Syrah from some of our favorite vineyards, many in Monterey County, plus a splash of Grenache, this wine is brimming with a mixture of cool and warm climate characteristics: dark fruits, herbs de Provence, lavender, and cigar to name a few. At the same time, it is also incredibly silky and sensual on the palate; we can't get enough of it.
