"This unique blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier is vibrant flint color and really jumps out of the glass with pure tropical fruit including guava, passion fruit and mango with a hint of clove. On the palate this wine is generous in acidity due to the cool climate Chenin Blanc while the finish is rounded a bit from the juicy Viognier. The flavors are a mixture of Fuji apple, ripe pineapple and are balanced on a matrix of honey and jasmine and star anise which then fold into citrusy yumminess. This wine is a fine choice with goat cheese dishes like roasted and chilled beets tossed in Champagne vinaigrette with toasted almonds. It's a slam-dunk patio pounder and overall refreshing warm weather sipper too. But it's best with with goat cheese, pine nuts and roasted garlic." - Winemaker's Notes
"Brilliantly dry and acidic, an Old World-style wine whose price shouldn't mis-lead you. This is a serious food wine, dry and minerally, with lemon and lime flavors. 89 Points & BEST BUY" -S.H., Wine Enthusiast Magazine, April 2011
