The bag in box version of this popular white wine blends up to eight different grapes. As always, you'll find it's a spicy, fragrant wine with snappy citrus and stone fruits. The eco-friendly package easily allows for single pours and keeps for up to a month if refrigerated.
Luck? Intention? Evolution Lucky No. 9 White launched the alternative white category two decades ago and remains a classic staple in any wine lover's fridge. With each bottle opened, anticipation heightens until the first drop hits the mouth. It's oh-so-good and refreshing, capturing today's savvy, food-hungry wine drinker.
Winemaking Press - juice - tank - bam - wine! Wouldn't it be nice if winemaking was that easy? We press our fruit straight to juice and ferment in stainless steel tanks to maintain the bright fruit flavors. We finish fermentation with 9.5g/L of residual sugar, just enough to give it a dash of sweetness.
Vintage While the Columbia Valley saw a moderate summer with the occasional heat spike, the Willamette Valley started off the growing season with a cool, wet spring and mild summer, but insane wildfires brought the season to a halt across both regions. Thankfully a massive rainstorm saved the day and we wrapped up the 2020 harvest with optimism!
Notes Aromatic wine with heaps of citrus notes like lychee and lime zest, hints of tropical fruit and just a touch melon. Bright acidity lingers on the finish to balance with residual sugar.
Pairings Anything with a kick! Thai curry, tandoori chicken, spicy tuna rolls, chili lime peanuts, you name it!
