We drank this with a DELICIOUS pork chop. Unfortunately it was not the right pairing. We only started enjoying it after the taste of our dinner was gone. And then it really started delivering. Lots of levels. Savory and earthy. — 5 years ago

Very pleasant Bordeaux Blanc of 90% Sauvignon and 10% Semillon. The Semillon gives it a slightly sweet taste that enhances the moderately rich wine. Paired well with poultry — 2 years ago
