Top Notes For

Sommelier Starling Diner, Editor Champagnifique.com

A pleasant and approachable, dry, idiosyncratic blend: The 2012 is 49% Riesling, 27% Viognier, 14%Sauvignon Blanc, 8% Chardonnay and 2% Chenin Blanc. The nose is all Riesling and Chardonnay; the texture is Viognier; the acidity and phenolics from Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin show up in the finish. Nicely done. Stump your friends who are into blind tasting with this one!

Viognier comes through clearly; fuller-bodied than expected. Very nice finish.

A smooth distinctive taste that is paired with a light and fruity bouquet that delivers a fresh crisp palate.

Every once in a while you taste a blend that reminds you why they started blending in the first place...
