Apple, lemon candy, peach, dried apricot, tangerine and hints of lychee. Great acidity and balance.

Lovely #california #chardonnay white blend here from Rodney Strong. White flowers, orchard fruit, lemon aromas, nicely balanced and eminently quaffable - favorable QPR.

Surprisingly good. This is a white blend of 50% Chardonnay, 18% Gewurtztraminer, 15% Pinot Noir, 12% Viognier, and 5% Sauv Blanc. Not acidic at all, good balance and depth. Very inexpensive and I'd buy this all day. A crowd pleaser.

V17. Here is this summers deck wine. Enjoyable. Wet stone and pear nose. Pear fruit. Crisp, spicy, zippy, mineral finish.
