Denner Vineyards Description
Founded in 1997 in Willow Creek, Denner is an icon of Paso Robles, known for blended expressions that combine California concentration with structural elegance. The estate encompasses 120 acres in the subAVAs of Willow Creek and Adelaida, with more than 20 varieties planted on sloping calcareous soils.
“One of the area’s iconic wineries...the wines here, made by Anthony Yount have steadily become more refined over the last decade. I count them among the very best of California.” - Josh Raynolds, Vinous
Denner’s Rhone-style white blend is a Rousanne based blend, with other classic Southern Rhone and Mediterranean varieties which vary from vintage to vintage.
James Suckling: 94 Points
Fermented in 3,000-liter Hungarian oak tanks, this complex and layered wine is made from white Rhone varieties. It’s 40% roussanne, 21% vermentino, 20% grenache blanc, 10% marsanne, 6% picpoul blanc and 3% clairette blanche. While ripe and generous, it’s also tangy and slightly tannic, with a fresh bite in texture. Medium-bodied. Drink or hold.
Wine Advocate: 93+ Points
The 2022 Theresa is a blend of Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, Picpoul and Clairette. Initially reticent on the nose, it displays exotic aromas of nutty orchard fruits, struck flint, miso, cured meats and dried flowers after time in the glass. The palate is equally plump, juicy and refreshing, with a clean, layered finish that gains momentum and length rapidly. This is another beautiful example of Paso Robles's largely untapped potential for white wines.
