Production notes
The main goal of the Evolution series is to make a wine that appears effortless – easy drinking, relaxing – but in reality is quite complex.

Tasting notes
Luck? Intention? Evolution Lucky No. 9 White Blend is a lush, off-dry somewhat tropical wine with a crisp finish. This wine 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. Notes of lychee. melon. lemongrass. lime zest and citrus. This lush, off-dry white is tropical, clean, crisp and refreshing. Pair with anything spiced. Thai curry, tandoori chicken, spicy tuna rolls, old friends and new friends.

PAUL GREGUTT, (Vintage 2019)Production keeps rising while the price stays the same and the quality is as good as ever. A blend of eight different white wine grapes, this wine is fragrant in citrus tones. Spunky is the word that best characterizes the crisp, fresh mix of peaches and lemons. It's a lovely mix, polished and ready for a wide variety of vegetarian and light seafood dishes.
