Light straw colored. Oaky notes of vanilla and cream, the Viognier component, lifting the Pear peach and tropical fruits, the Chenin Blanc component. Smooth and fat with nice acidity. Medium bodied. The palate adds a buttery, honey notes accentuating the citrus, and apricot. The acidity carries through the finish, which is medium but sustained. If you enjoy Gewürztraminers, you'll dig it. 90
