2024 Covenant Mensch Roussanne Lodi Nebbiolo but her Aligoté—the lesser-known whiteTheres not much Roussanne, one of the Rhone Valleys premier white grapes, grown in California. Leave it to seventh generation (not a typo!) winegrower Larry Mettler to figure out how to make it sing in Lodi, of all places! This is rich and generous stuff, with aromas of toasted almonds and a palate of pears, white stone fruit, and honey. Give the Chard a rest and try this rich, full bodied rarity instead. Only 250 cases made!
