Elyse makes several different Zinfandels and has done so for many years; Zinfandel is one of the varieties they are most known for. Not many small Napa Valley based producers produce, bottle and label a wine as a White Zinfandel. Elyse produces this wine from Rutherford. The 2020 Elyse White Zinfandel was fermented entirely from free run juice. This wine is medium to deep salmon in color; it has no issue with lightness of color. The bouquet reveals aromatics of wild strawberry (the white kind that never really shows much color), cherry pie, ruby grapefruit and subtle notes of lemon/lime. It offers rich and concentrated flavors of strawberry, black raspberry and watermelon along with a light spice note. A hint of sweetness shows among the flavors which is balanced nicely by its acidity. This wine offers a creamy and supple texture from the entry through to the finish.
