WINEMAKER’S NOTES:
The wine opens up with alluring aromas of freshly peeled mandarin orange, peach nectar, and honeydew melon. Hints of white citrus blossom, marzipan and toasted hazelnut add a nice layer of complexity. On the palette, the wine has a rich creamy entry that is balanced by bright acidity and minerality. These characteristics carry through to the finish with flavors of lime zest and toasted marshmallow.
THE BLEND:
- Chardonnay
- Viognier
- Roussanne
- Marsanne
- Grenache Blanc
- Chenin Blanc
- Semillon
90 POINTS – Robert Parker: The Wine Advocate, October 2014
“A blend of Chardonnay, Viognier, Roussanne and the balance Grenache Blanc, Chenin Blanc and a few other grapes… offers lovely notes of fresh pineapple, tangerine skins, orange marmalade, melon and honeysuckle. I wish more California wineries would consider using such innovative blends as this given the high quality that can result.”
