@Bench1775

Tasting Notes: A refreshing, vibrant and juicy
 blend of 46% Pinot Gris, 25% Chardonnay, 11% Sauvignon Blanc and 6% each of Semillon, Viognier and Gewurztraminer that combines equal parts ripe tropical and cool stonefruit elements on the aromatic nose and the (mostly) dry palate.

Pineapple, grapefruit, kiwi, gooseberry, honeydew, lemon-lime and riverstone characters'a'plenty. A dryer style than the off-dry 2012 edition - equally tasty, though, more food friendly with less residual sugar to deal with when trying to pair with your menu. Look to seafood dishes or even creamy Alfredo pasta. Enjoy this well-priced wine in its youth. Drink now-2016.
