Two Shepherds 'Centime' 2020 Review
Two Shepherds is a great example of the American spirit in this industry. The winery makes some creative and unconventional blends in California, like this stunning skin contact wine made from southern French varieties Picpoul and Vermentino (Rolle in French) — and it works. Notes of Orange peel, earl grey tea and juicy pear spiked with ginger meet the nose. The palate is soft with waves of savory notes under a slightly creamy mouthfeel.
