Country: US / Chaleur Estate
Variety: Bordeaux-style White Blend Washington
Winery: DeLille / Columbia Valley (WA)
This blend of Sauvignon Blanc (65%) and Sémillon comes from Sagemoor, Boushey and Klipsun vineyards. It starts out barrel-forward with aromas of char and toast followed by citrus oil, spice and herbs. The concentration of the tropical fruit flavors is light and elegant but shows pleasing nuances and a good sense of balance.
