The Character
Tasting Notes Year after year, our Grenache Blanc is beautifully crisp with a hint of minerality. The wine is fermented and aged in 100% stainless steel, maintaining a freshness throughout. In particular, our 2019 Grenache Blanc showcases delightful aromas of yellow peach, honeysuckle, and faint green apple on the nose. The entry is restrained yet welcoming, with a finish of ripe pear and bright citrus zest. It’s no wonder we sell out of this wine every year—so get yours now before it’s too late!

The Story
Grenache Blanc in the Napa Valley, you say? It’s true that the valley may be better known for white grapes like Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, which is why it’s so exciting for us to offer something a little different and share one of Craig’s favorite varietals with you. He has found that the 1,250-foot elevation of the estate vineyard where our Grenache Blanc grapes are grown provides a cooler climate and gives the fruit a longer ripening time, thus helping to preserve the freshness of the berries. We find that the bright, pleasantly acidic wine is a wonderful complement to our full-bodied red blends, and it’s our favorite wine to serve to guests when we kick off their tasting experience.

About Priest Ranch
Brand Story
Priest Ranch is a historic Napa Valley property established in 1869 by James Joshua Priest, a Gold Rush prospector. In 2004 we combined the historic Priest Ranch and Elder Valley properties to create the Somerston Estate. Today the 1,615 acre estate has 215 acres of producing vineyards from 15 distinct areas with a total of 180 different blocks. We have explored the diversity of the property by blending multiple blocks into every wine produced. These multi-block wines showcase impressive quality and represent the property at the highest level. Each vineyard is uniquely tended based on the grape varietal.
