Yellow straw color. Toasty aromas and flavors of lemon-peach custard tart, honey-buttered biscuit, and spiced caramelized apple with a lightly tannic, crisp, dry-yet-fruity light-to-medium body and a sleek, interesting, agreeable finish displaying overtones of asian pear, persimmon, and toasted almond with crunchy, dusty, fruit tannins and no oak flavor. A supple and nuanced white wine with nice table appeal.

Rhone White Varietal Blend

The Rhône Rangers are a hearty band of US vintners who plant and promote lesser-known white varietals from France's Rhône Valley. They sing the praises of wines such as viognier, marsanne, roussanne and blends thereof.
