Weird blend. Lots of citrus. Chard, SB, and moscato fighting together.

I wife just called this Franciscan Elimination. Maybe because she wants to drink it all. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Muscat. Delightful summer quaffer.

Pale straw in the glass with aromas of oak and oak with some more oak. Once it opens it shows more melon and pineapple, with a green grassy finish. The palate is round with a crisp edge to it, juicy while at the same time acidic. A quite nice surprise that I am glad to have found.

Really enjoyed this white wine. Fruit forward, smooth, crisp with almost an effervescence.

Very nice. Good strong fruit but far from overpowering. Hint of dryness is just right.
