Santa Barbara County White Blend

Some fun complexity here but not loving the 14.7alc. Rous,Vio,Gren,Chrd. Made WS top 100 at 29 which I may not agree with but I appreciate the wine. Another I'd like to revisit down the road. KL

Marsanne roussanne viognier blend. Big melon jumps out of you at first sniff, underlying gooseberry and a slightly buttery finish.

Very interesting nose and palate. Drank a bit warm at just below room temp. Will try again when cooler.
Pale golden yellow. Nose started off some a candied fruit and flower with a solid backbone of lime, tangerine and white floral notes. Solid acidity (6.5/10) and light plus to medium bodied. Buttery finish though with notes of melon and a touch of lemon. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2019.

Great fan! Melon and freesia top notes with some honey and berry base flavors. Really nice!

Nice. Very floral. Like drinking a pineapple.

Aug 6th, 2016I cannot recommend this anti-Chardonnay blend more (coming from a Chard lover)....the Viognier gives it structure and weight but the rest of the blend is ethereal secret juice shepherding you into the freaking weekend like a boss. Bring this fairly easy to find wine from a rockstar maker to any shmancy dinner and get golf claps all night long. Or, serve to a date on your rooftop deck. Don't forget the blanket, cheese crackers and Trojans.

Very nice complex white blend from Santa Barbara. Lots of stone fruit and honeysuckle up front with mineral lingering finish
