Wine Review: This hazy and pale-yellow Colombard from Emme Wines opens with chamomile tea and lemon zest bouquet with notes of white grapefruit and almond. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, mouthwatering, and zesty. The flavor profile is a saline and lemon tea blend with notes of almond and lime zest. I also detected a hint of white grapefruit pith and white pepper. The finish is dry and refreshing. Everyone that tried this wine really liked it. I would pair this Colombard with oysters. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Emme Wines are produced by Rosalind Reynolds at her small, organically farmed natural wine project in Mendocino County. Rosalind farms her grapes organically and makes wine without additives. The Colombard is sourced entirely from the Ricetti Vineyard in Redwood Valley, dry-farmed organically, with only 100 cases produced. The 2025 Colombard is light bodied, bright, and lively. Displays flavors of citrus zest, green apple, white peach, fresh herbs, and a clean, slightly tart, mineral finish. Pair with grilled fish, oysters, light salads, goat cheese, or a sunny afternoon with absolutely nothing to do.
