  • 2007 Treana White Mer Soleil Vineyard 92 Points

    USA, California, Central Coast

    A: Med Intensity
    Reminds me of a good mineral driven nose of an Alsatian White [not floral] good mineral core

    T: high acid, med+ body, long finish
    Green Apple/Golden Berries, a tightness, touch of oxidation on the finish but good

    Conc: This wine reminds me of such Alsatian or even a tightly woven Chenin with that great mineral Core. can see this lasting for a long long time. But not like the other wines, would never guess Viognier/Marsanne.
