Folle Blanche
Filter
Folle Blanche is related to Gouais blanc and is also known by the name “Picpoule”. It is however, not related to the Picpoul variety from Languedoc or Gros Plant and Enrageat Blanc. This light skinned grape variety has been mostly substituted with the hybrid Baco blanc because of damage from phylloxera. After the disease ravaged Folle Blanche vines, growers replaced the vincs with the Ugnu-Blanc variety. The Folle Blanche variety is produced in the Loire Valley of France near Nantes to create the wine Gros Plant du Pays Nantis. The Loire Valley region suits almost 8,000 acres of the Folle Blanche variety and it is planted in vineyards throughout France. The strong, dry and acidic wine goes nicely with shellfish. Folle Blanche is also the variety used in Cognac. Folle Blanche works well to create brandy, but because it ripens late in the year and is sensitive to rot and disease, it is not a popular choice for many growers. In the Loire region of France, Folle Blanche is sometimes used to create a varietal wine, but typically Folle Blanche is used to blend with other grape varieties. Folle Blanche produces light, crisp wines that are acidic and it typically generates a large amount of juice. When ripe, the fruit is semi round and is yellowish green in color.

Waterstone Special Select Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Project C is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.
The backbone of this Cabernet Sauvignon is derived from a vineyard in the Atlas Peak AVA of Napa Valley where soils are volcanic in origin and have limited water retention. The balance of fruit is sourced from Coombsville and Oak Knoll. The small berry clusters and intense fruit from low-yielding vines create a wine with full flavor and longevity.
This Cabernet delivers multi-layered aromas of ripe black cherries, toasted oak, dark chocolate, cardamom, vanilla bean, and cedar. A rich medium-bodied wine with plush rounded tannins and juicy blackberries and orange zest that linger on the finish.
