Vintage Cellar's Review:

“Made from 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier. 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables.”

My Review:
A beautiful golden color to this wine. The nose left me engulfed in pear, apple and honey aromas. My palate also had pear and apple hints and was buttery. This was a medium-bodied wine with a little acidity. Overall, a dry finish and enjoyable. Will buy again.

Tasted without food.
