Wine Review: This bright, rich wine from the Montecello AVA in Virginia is a golden yellow color with aromas that include spiced nectarine, chamomile tea, fresh herbs, apricot, and jasmine. On entry it is velvety smooth, lightly creamy, fresh, and balanced, with a medium body and medium-plus acidity. I found flavors of spiced white peach, fresh apricot, honeycomb, and chalky minerality. I also noted some ginger, mandarin peel and herbal tea in the mix. Serve with Moroccan chicken tagine. - Mark
Winemaker Notes: The wine opens on the nose with zesty citrus, honeysuckle, and white peach notes. A rounded attack and a smooth mouthfeel bring these notes to the palate. The finish is bright and fresh.
