80% Clairette Blanc and 20% Roussanne. Bold gold color. Aromas of white peach, white flowers and toasted hazelnuts. Pallet is loaded with stone fruit with hints of pear, citrus and those hazelnuts. Wine was a bit oxidized (Sherry-like) but in pleasant way. Bit of a chalky texture. Complex and crisp. Solid food wine.

Perfectly drinkable. I think this one was very affordable too. Wareham.

Really enjoyed this at Palio Restaurant in Leesburg. It was several months ago so I really don't remember details other than I loved it.

lemon, grassy notes, white flowers, apple, somewhat bitter and round finish. Very basic and not my favorite easy wine...
