TASTING NOTES: 
This blend of 89% Chardonnay, 8% Viognier and 3% Marsanne offers a bright nose of citrus and ripe apple peel that leaps from the glass. On the palate, the allure of apricot, orange blossom and grapefruit pith refresh before giving way to a creamy lemon meringue texture. The finish is crisp, tart, dry and beautifully balanced.
