70% Chardonnay 30% Pinot Noir

Tasting Note

This interesting, slightly pink-hued wine is a blend of 70% Chardonnay with 30% Pinot Noir. The wine begins with aromatics of white peach, grapefruit blossom and a hint of orange rind. The palate is smooth, refined and refreshing yeilding ripe flavors of cantaloupe, white grape, nectarine and a touch of strawberry. Refreshing and lithe, this has wonderful mid-palate weight.
