2009 Santa Barbara County 80% Grenache Blanc, 10% Viognier, 10% Roussanne

Emanuel Tres 3 is a delightful white wine that beautifully marries the characteristics of Grenache Blanc, Viognier, and Roussanne. With its vibrant straw color, this wine offers a pleasing complexity on the nose, showcasing refreshing aromas of stone fruit, pear, and subtle floral notes that invite you to take a sip. The palate presents a balanced and crisp experience, complemented by lively acidity that enhances its food-friendly nature. Fruit intensity is prominent, with flavors of ripe peach and citrus that dance on the tongue, while a delicate mineral quality adds depth to the profile. This inviting wine is dry, making it an excellent choice for a variety of occasions, whether enjoyed alone or paired with seafood dishes, light salads, or creamy cheeses. Its craftsmanship reflects the sunny disposition of Santa Barbara County, and the 2009 vintage is a testament to the winemaker's dedication to creating a memorable wine experience.

Santa Barbara County

Just north of Los Angeles at the southern tip of the Central Coast, Santa Barbara County is one of California's winemaking gems. Although a long way from Napa and Sonoma, Santa Barbara's prime AVAs—the Santa Maria and Santa Ynez Valleys and the Santa Rita Hills—produce exemplary cool-climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. It is all thanks to the terroir. Despite its proximity to sunny southern California, Santa Barbara County is hilly, and its vineyards lie close to the Pacific Ocean. With little rainfall but an abundance of chilly ocean winds and fogs, the growing season is very long here. This allows grapes to ripen slowly over an extended period and develop wonderfully complex flavors.
