Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
On the palate the wine is medium-bodied and refreshingly dry with balancing crisp acidity. Enjoy chilled by itself or with fresh fruits, cheeses and with spicy dishes.
"Enormously fruity and long on the flowery, sweet-peach traits...its fine sense of polished roundness and overall balance make it a sheer joy to drink..." Charles E. Olken, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine, March 2010.
Ratings
Pick of the Week - Laurie Daniel's syndicated wine column, February 7, 2010. "This well-balanced Rhone white is aromatic and floral, with pear and white peach flavors and racy acidity. Try it with Dungeness crab." Laurie Daniel
