Excellent wine. This is one of those experimental wines that the vineyard is making by blending three of the best white varieties that seem to work in Virginia. Floral and tropical nose over a wonderfully rich creamy body with a pleasant apricot fruit aspect. This is the petit manseng, chardonnay, and viognier showing its effects. Some minerality which I found surprising coming from a Virginia wine. I like, but I really like the idea of tasting what they do with this in the future.

Nose was decent, almost rhone like. On the palate it was well balanced with some sweetness that I always get from Virginia white's. This was better then I expected.
