Sensational for the money. Doesn’t get much better then this for $30 dollars. Thinking it will be better in the next 3/12 months. Great balance. Please do not drink this above cellar temperature. Enjoy... perfect with hummus.

Hildegard was an 8th Century queen where legend has it she grew weary of drunken knights spilling red wine all over her place, so she had servants replant some of the vineyards to white grapes. A blend of a blend of Pinot Gris (50%), Pinot Blanc (40%) and Aligoté (10%), aged for 2 years in French oak, 100% new (long for a white). Pleasant aromas of fruit, spice and cedar. On the palate slight peach and citrus notes, well integrated with oak and spice. Lingering finish ending with nutty spice character. This white was something special! Tasting Sample!

This wine is magic with age. What seems like over the top, more-is-more when young mellows and knits into a compelling, balanced, complex and long tasty drink of a wine. I'm always astounded at the change in the bottle, and the '09 is just finding its moment. And hey, California Aligoté in there, so that's cool too.
