Covey Run 2006 Quail Series Fumé Blanc (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Fumé Blanc
Winery: Covey Run / Quail Series

Just a splash of Chenin Blanc has been added to the blend, adding some lift to the aromas and suggestions of citrus blossom. The natural herbaceousness of Sauvignon Blanc has been kept in check, but the wine is clean and varietal. The flavors seem just a bit muted, almost thin, but it’s a perfectly refreshing, if simple effort.
