Wine Review: The slightly hazy and pale yellow colored Colombard based wine opens with a shy mild coconut and lemon grass bouquet with hints of almond. On the palate, this wine is full bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, slightly viscous, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is honeydew melon and citrus blend with notes of green tea and almond. We also detected hints saline, field grass, and touch ginger. The finish is dry and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. We would pair this white blend with a Cod en Papillote (Parchment paper wrapped cod with vegetables and zesty white wine) Enjoy - Ken & Mark
Winemaker Notes: This vintage carries both zippiness and contemplative structure. The rare old vine Colombard. lovingly tended since 1948 with maternal parentage in Chenin Blanc brings whispers of concentrated white flowers and toasted almonds to the glass. Golden Delicious apple dances with lemon pith brightness, while that signature waxy mouthfeel wraps around subtle Jonagold-like tannins that give this wine its thoughtful backbone. This is a wine that rewards patience: decant it now or simply uncork an hour before serving. Pair with a pistachio crusted fish.
