Wine Review: This deep straw-colored Viognier and Grenache Blanc based blend from Limerick Lane opens with an orange blossom and Bartlett pear bouquet with hints of nectarine pit. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and slightly mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a citrus and saline blend with notes of chalky minerality and white peach. We also detected hints of white tea and white pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity linger nicely. I would pair the complimentary and food friendly white blend with baked halibut. Enjoy – KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Sourced from the idyllic Front Porch Farms, this exceptional wine is a fusion of 48% Grenache Blanc and 52% Viognier, resulting in a seamless union with alluring scents of citrus, white blossoms, stone fruit, and apricot. With its refreshing, textured, and multifaceted palate, Fáilte is an ideal companion for balmy days, offering invigorating flavors that whisk you away to a sun-drenched haven. "Fáilte," meaning "welcome" in Irish, embodies the wine's warm and hospitable character. Immerse yourself in the allure and sophistication of Fáilte, and savor the true essence of the Russian River Valley with each sip.
