MORE INFORMATION
Wine Press NW says: "This new Washington winery prides itself on fruit from Alder Ridge (just downstream from Canoe Ridge on the Columbia River) and varieties outside the mainstream. This is a blend of 55 percent Viognier and 45 percent Roussanne, and it's marvelous. There's tremendous fruit in the nose with orange oil, pineapple, tangerine and lychee and some tropical spice notes. And it's a full-flavored wine with the same tropical fruits and ample acidity, including dried pineapple on the finish."
TASTING NOTES:
This wine has intense aromas of tropical fruits
and honey. It has a rich, full mouth feel with
accents of passion fruit that is followed by a
long lingering finish.
