ABOUT THE WINE
“Mr. Blanc” is a distinctive blend of estate-grown Rhône white grapes—primarily Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier—from Cass’s certified organic vineyards in the Geneseo District of Paso Robles. The 2024 vintage benefited from a long, even growing season, preserving freshness and aromatic intensity. Each variety was hand-harvested, fermented separately in stainless steel to preserve purity, and partially aged on lees for added texture and mouthfeel. The Viognier contributes floral lift and stone fruit, Roussanne brings structure and spice, and Marsanne adds minerality and depth. The result is a layered, expressive white wine with both body and brightness. Pair it with roast chicken, grilled peaches with burrata, or seafood paella. Enjoy now or over the next 3–5 years.
Founded in 2000 by Steve Cass, Cass Winery is an estate-driven producer in Paso Robles with a focus on Rhône varieties and sustainable farming. The 145-acre vineyard is planted exclusively to Rhône grapes and benefits from alluvial soils, warm days, and cool marine-influenced nights that preserve acidity and aromatic vibrancy. Cass is SIP Certified (Sustainability in Practice) and operates with a philosophy that marries innovation with tradition: modern winemaking technology meets low-intervention techniques and meticulous vineyard care. Known for its hospitality and dynamic range of wines, Cass consistently produces accessible yet high-quality expressions of Paso terroir. “Mr. Blanc” is a signature white—playful in name, but serious in balance and craftsmanship.
