Displays a delicate nose of honeysuckle, Meyer lemon, ripe apple, and melon. These characters expand on the palate, adding flavors of white peach and tangerine, with a touch of minerality on the balanced, long finish.

Vineyard
The grapes for the Gesture RVG are grown on our Gean Vineyard in the Adelaida District of Paso Robles. Planted in 2010, it is the westernmost vineyard in the Paso Robles AVA. With a climate nearly identical to that of the northern Rhône, this vineyard’s terroir is a perfect match for growing Roussanne, Viognier, and Grenache Blanc. The warm days with southern and western exposures on this hillside property help to naturally develop ripe, lush flavors, while the cool nights allow for long hangtime, giving the wines power and depth.
Vintage
The 2021 growing season in western Paso Robles was moderate compared with recent vintages, with low yields of delicious fruit. Only minimal irrigation was applied until the heat of early September. Harvest began on September 8th with the Viognier, continuing for another 42 days until the last of the Roussanne was picked. The resulting wine is a blend of 5 different components chosen from several subtle picks.
