Pax Fanucchi-Wood Road Vineyard Trousseau Gris 2022 Review
This unique skin-contact wine is made from Trousseau Gris, rare French variety sourced from one of the few-standing plots of the grape in California. Even though this is technically an "orange" wine, it has a stunning light pink color more akin to a rosé. It has a punchy nose with bright notes of citrus, guava, and white flowers. It's lively on the palate with fresh acidity and a great texture.
