The Walls Stanley Groovy 'Lip Stinger' White 2023

Meet Stanley Groovy, the curious, free-spirited character created by New Yorker cartoonist Joe Dator. He’s the face of The Walls’ playful side. The Walls is based in Walla Walla, and its Stanley Groovy wines take a fun, exploratory approach to Washington State. Lip Stinger is the line’s take on a southern Rhône white. The 2023 blends 60% Grenache Blanc with Roussanne, Picpoul, Viognier and a touch of Marsanne. The name is a wink at Picpoul, which translates as “lip stinger,” though this wine is round and textured rather than sharp. Expect fragrant aromas of stone fruit and white flowers, a medium-weight palate with a hint of spice, and a fresh, juicy finish.
