A Best Buy
TASTING NOTE: Crafted from a chardonnay grape clone, this aromatic 100% musqué varietal charms with its ripe fruit aromas - pineapple, peach and pear plus citrus and white blossom notes. This stainless steel fermented, medium- bodied white is round and ample on the palate showcasing mature orchard fruit flavours coated with a touch of honey and good balance of acidity resembling well-made viognier. A gorgeous wine to drink now with grilled sushi or seafood. Score - 90 (Louise Boutin, winecurrent.com, Nov. 4, 2018) Price $ 17.95
