  The wine is a light, pale, straw to yellow color. The very appealing nose has apples, minerals, white peaches, white pepper, pears, orange blossoms, and a touch of lime zest. This has medium body with mouthwatering acidity. On the palate the wine is creamy and smooth with apples, white peach and spice on the front end, on the back end, the acidity kicks in and wipes the palate clean leaving mouthwatering citrus. The finish has nice length with some spice and white pepper peaking through the lemon/lime citrus. This is a very nice white Rhone style blend from California.

  The wine is a very pale yellow to straw color, just a step or two about water. This has a very interesting nose of apples, white peaches, minerals, white pepper, pears, orange zest, and a lively floral note. The wine is medium body at most with very nice acidity, The wine is initially has a silky, soft, impact on the palate with the apples, spice, and white peach elements dominating, but then the other hammer drops and white pepper and citrus kick in adding immensely. A nice, lingering finish with all the elements in perfect harmony. This is a very interesting California version of a French white Chateauneuf. I like this wine, a lot!
