Lizette2017

184 cases made

Our Lizette label is named after the beloved matriarch of the Haskell family, Elisabeth “Liz” Haskell. Sadly, we lost Liz in 2019, but the memory of her lively character and elegance aptly lives on in Lizette.

Grenache Blanc, a relative of the red Grenache grape, originated in Spain before moving to France where it is currently the fourth most widely planted white grape varietal. In recent years, Grenache Blanc has found its way to the Central Coast of CA where it enjoys our hot days and cool nights. This climate helps the grapes develop their prime qualities: rich full body and crisp acids. Ballard Canyon, the AVA where our grapes come from, sources their vines from the Rhone Valley in France.

Often used as a blending grape, at Boscoe we make a 100% Grenache Blanc, again, letting the grapes speak for themselves.

92 Boscoe 2017 Lizette Rancho Boa Vista Vineyard Grenache Blanc (Ballard Canyon). This single-vineyard expression starts with aromas of lemon peel, dried apple and a wet stone minerality on the nose. It’s tightly wound on the sip, with a citrus-rind element that leads into a creamier midpalate, as a steely minerality and brisk apple-peel flavors pushing into the finish.

Rancho Boa Vista

Current release notes: The new normal is erratic weather patterns. Block 6 of our 2017 vintage saw a wetter than average winter, with the heavy rains theoretically ending California’s five-year drought; however, the drought did not end in Santa Barbara County. The wet winter did have the effect of percolating soils and reducing the salts in some of the vineyards, including the grounds of Rancho Boa Vista. Clear skies and a warm spring also allowed for consistent flowering throughout the region. During a set of 90-degree days, we made the decision to harvest on October 13 at 10 p.m. This started the journey of our grapes for Boscoe Wine Co.’s 2017 Lizette, which ended in the bottle on July 22 of the following year.
