this is a big, bold, powerful white, a blend of 80% chardonnay, 15% viognier and 5% sauvignon blanc. oaky aromas of toast, hazelnut and sweet spice abound throughout, gracing the fruit elements of honeydew, baked apple, peach pit, clove-spiked orange and buttered nuts. the mouthfeel is round and broad, but with ample acidic lift to the palate and through the finish to keep things fresh. a gingered peach-white tea flavor lingers on the close; try after 2017.
