| Notes | "High-toned aromas of fresh apricot and lavender, with hints of spices and dusty herbs. Soft, slightly sweet and easygoing, offering lovely limey lift to its supple stone fruit flavors. Finishes surprisingly dry and firm. This essentially gentle wine is perfect right now." (Stephen Tanzer, Vinous) | |||
Additional Notes "A blend of 48% Viognier, 41% Chenin Blanc and 11% Grenache Blanc, this medium-weight wine offers ripe fruit aromas and flavors of Anjou pear, peach and orange rind that are complemented by notes of fennel, mentholated fynbos and ginger. Medium acidity cuts through the rich mouthfeel, with a lasting kiss of toasted spice on the close. Drink now." (Wine Enthusiast) |
