Zenith Vineyard Auxerrois Blanc
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Meh. I liked it better on its own, but in this comparative, it got destroyed! Nothing wrong with this wine, falls off a bit towards the end. Enjoyed the nose and its light weight.

Light, crisp, very subtle citrus and Asian pear notes followed by wet stone notes that do not linger.

Feb 13th, 2017Though it is it's own grape, it is a perfect sibling of Chardonnay and shows with many similar characteristics. Exceptionally pear driven and rich in the mouth with a very short, clean finish.

The 2013 is lean yet layered, with bracing acidity and spectrum of nice citrus and slightly under ripe pear fruit. Sings with food!
