Winery 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 Thoughts: I went in expecting some interesting flavors from this wine, but I didn't pick up much. Aroma and flavors of sour apple. No vanilla or buttery flavors that I can detect. Some acidity, especially in the finish.The finish is decently long with a strange flavor I was unable to identify. Its not bad just not as impressive as I was hoping for. I still need to find a real buttery bomb from Cali to try.
