Winery Review: A delicious and fresh blend of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris. Light aromas of fresh fruit and delicate white flowers start your journey, followed by crisp flavors of stone and citrus fruit. A well balanced acidity on the dry finish ends this French blend beautifully. 

My Review: This wine was fantastic!  I thought the nose was particularly stunning, with the unique smells of lavender and orange peel present.  This experimental wine, with a combination of Riesling, Pinot Blanc, Muscat, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris, was a very light, delicate wine.  The crisp flavor of green applies, along with a dry finish further enhanced this wine.  It was so good that I purchased a bottle!

I tasted this on its own with no food.
