Brought this to a BYOB sushi restaurant in central Massachusetts. Really nice chardonnay predominant white wine with lots of northern Rhone grape varietals integrated into the final blend. You would not think that this cornucopia of grapes would work together but surprisingly they complement each other so well. This is a big wine, full bodied, and really tasty on the palate. Hard to really put any fragrent nose to it because the alcohol predominates in the typical Orin Swift fashion - but the palate is another story. It hides the alcohol very well, its rich, has good acidity and a good finish and an overall pleasure to drink. Worked really well with our sushi.
This blend reminds of a great Hermitage blanc or a white rioja. Really nice wine here - bravo David Phinney. Probably the best wine he makes. Would buy again.

Note to self buy more. Love the texture and pale gold colour. A wine of immense personality on top of a chardonnay party base.

Soft and smooth, nice citrus notes w/o too much acidity. Great blend.
