• Wine Enthusiast - This blend of 26% Viognier, 25% Grenache Blanc, 25% Marsanne and 24% Roussanne manages to be both lush and light, showing candied melon, clover honey, pretty green pear and lime-butter on the nose. The palate offers Gala apples and fresh lemon zest, yet retains and intriguingly savory quality throughout the sip. 91.

My Tasting Notes

Color: Straw gold and mostly opaque

Nose: Fresh stone fruit, green pear, peaches, hints of apples with fresh white flowers and citrus, and almond butter.

Palate:

• Body: 3.5
• Acidity: 3.5 - very nice and smooth
• Alcohol: 2.5

Really smooth and had a savory roundness. malolactic and barrel aging brings out smooth almond butter and a lush body. hints of apricot, peach, green pear, with apple hints on the finish. Undertones of roasted nuts and creaminess. Very good.
