   Review: Somerset Amphorae Blanca 2020 (Temecula Valley)

   Rick and Shannon taste Somerset’s 2020 Amphorae Blanca, a Temecula white blend fermented and aged in clay amphorae. Does this land as a Dump It, Try It, Pour It, or Buy It? In this week’s bonus mini-episode of Pour Temecula, Rick DeLucio and Shannon Cole explore Somerset’s 2020 Amphorae Blanca, a white blend crafted in ancient clay amphorae rather than traditional barrels or stainless steel. Amphorae fermentation can bring added texture, subtle earthiness, and a different expression of fruit, making it one of the more intriguing winemaking approaches in Temecula Valley. Rick and Shannon discuss what amphorae aging does to a wine and how it influences flavor and structure, then share their tasting notes and final rating on the show’s Dump It, Try It, Pour It, or Buy It scale.
