Westwood CC, Vienna, VA
Tasted Saturday, October 6, 2012 by grayfont with 658 views
This is the annual "mid level" Constellation tasting at Westwood. They do a higher-end tasting every December.
Overall, I'd say this tasting was a little disappointing, but of course we're looking forward to the Holiday Tasting in December for the higher end wines.

clear, almost looks like water. citrus, primarily orange peel on the nose. high in acidity; dries the mouth out. Not much fruit on the palate.

2010 Robert Mondavi Winery Fumé Blanc 86 Points

faint straw color, inexpressive nose. On the palate, this is nice & round & full. well balanced but lacking in flavor.
