2021 L’ESSOR
78% Grenache, 22% Cabernet Sauvignon
$40
The 2021 L’Essor is liquid Rose gold. The nose is awakened by fresh strawberries and Meyer lemons before finishing on a touch of dark spice.
On first sip, fresh fruit gives way to bright acidity and falls into notes of alluring spices. The PasO limestone creates an envelopment of crisp minerality lifted by ripe spring berries before a refreshing flow of seafoam salinity washes over the palate.
STORY
An anagram of Rosé, which means “the rise” in French, L’Essor is another perfect example of the different style of wine the brothers want to bring to the broad spectrum of offerings in Paso Robles.
