Another stunning Chardonnay from Rivers-Marie.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is lovely with lemon creme, slight vanilla, spice with nice minerality.  Full bodied.  Crisp balance.  On the palate, this is juicy with Lemon Creme, vanilla, slight lemon and spice.  Long finish.  Still on the young side, this will likely still improve.  Deep with tight layering, it unwinds quickly in the glass.  it is wonderful on its own and will work well with many foods.  A nice choice with Salmon or Tuna Steaks.  Drink over the next twelve years.  

Wow. One of the best white wines I can remember. Not sure why but it seemed a step above a bottle consumed about a month ago. This is a blend of 33% Chardonnay, 27% Viognier, 24% Gelber Muskateller, 12% Roussanne, and 4% Petit Manseng. Light to medium golden in color, clear and bright. The nose is complex with peach, lemon creme, slight "white floral notes", slight wax, char, slight baked bread and spice. It keeps evolving. Full bodied. Oily texture. Light tannins. So sharp edges but great balance. On the palate, this is layered, complex and delicious.
