2018 Antica Terra The Glories No.01 White California & Oregon

55% Oregon chardonnay | 45% California roussanne | The Glories no.01 offers umami in an almost spicy, sweetly torturous form. Its weighted, gilded frame holds your attention while the feeling of crystalline salt moves through its center (think: calcium lactate crystals in a cool cave-aged, clothbound cheese.) The roussanne’s contribution from the warm 2018 vintage offers golden, honeyed aromatics and brings rich, toasted almond flavors to the ample mid-palate.
