2013 vintage. Pale Straw color, med+ bodied, crisp mouthfeel. Blend of Sauv Blanc, Chard, Muscat. Notes of ripe white peach, nectarine, lemon, honey. Long dry finish.

Weird blend. Lots of citrus. Chard, SB, and moscato fighting together.

I wife just called this Franciscan Elimination. Maybe because she wants to drink it all. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat. Delightful summer quaffer.

Fantastic blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat. Light, refreshing tastes of pear 🍐 apple 🍎 and melon 🍉! Went very nice with feta spinach stuffed French bread and zucchini lasagna!

Pale straw in the glass with aromas of oak and oak with some more oak. Once it opens it shows more melon and pineapple, with a green grassy finish. The palate is round with a crisp edge to it, juicy while at the same time acidic. A quite nice surprise that I am glad to have found.
