Completing the trilogy of recently released wines from Tranche Cellars…
Tranche Cellars is new winery from Michael Corliss, Lauri Darnielle, and Kendall Mix of Corliss Estates (read about the Corliss wines here). In May Tranche released its inaugural whites – a Chardonnay, a Roussanne-Viognier, and a Pinot Gris. The winery’s first reds will be released this fall.
As with the other releases, the back of the bottle provides a description which reads “Be it known that the holder of this premier share of wine is entitled to enjoy aromas of lime, grapefruit, violets and mango. A mouthful of citrus, a touch of minerality, and delicate floral aromas. The maker pledges to bestow uncompromising standards of quality in creating this blend for generations to come.”
