Troon Vineyard Druid’s White Applegate Valley 2024
The 2024 vintage marks our fifth iteration of Druid’s White, but in reality, it’s the second vintage of the new Druid’s Trio, executed to their vision. The 2024 edition is made with a blend of 48% Grenache Blanc, 17% Bourboulenc, 14% Roussanne, 11% Vermentino, 5% Clairette Blanche, and 5% Picpoul Blanc. Of course, the blend may change as younger vines mature and vintage conditions determine another path. The included varietals each play a role in their collaborative creation.

Wine Reviews
Colpetrone Rosso di Montefalco 2020
Brilliant, dark scarlet color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of blackberry, pomegranate, and garrigue with supporting notes of black tea, orange peel, forest floor, and five spice. The palate confirms the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black plum, dried fruits, dark chocolate, baking spices, and mineral. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Full-bodied and perfectly balanced with an opulent texture. $19.99 – 4.5 Stars/94 points
Spirits Reviews
Galliano L’Aperitivo Bitter
Brilliant, luminescent ruby color. The aromatics are filled with scents of blood orange and grapefruit with supporting notes of lavender, citrus zest, sandalwood, and hints of cinnamon. The palate echoes the nose, accentuating the orange notes with a bit of kumquat and tangerine, bolstered by accents of brown baking spices and vibrant citrus. Medium-bodied and generous with enough sweetness to carry the complex flavors along the palate. $24.99 – 4.5 Stars
