Tasting Note:July 27, 2017

Very light pale yellow. Lovely and inviting nose with layers of citrus, green apples, white blossoms, and tropical fruit notes. Medium acidity (6/10) and well balanced. Fresh and crisp on the palate with mandarins, pears, stone fruits and tropical notes. A touch creamy in the mouthfeel as well. Light to light plus body with a medium plus to long finish.

The majority of the fruit is from the Soliloquy Vineyard in Oakville. This is made up of 100% Sauvignon Blanc (60% Soliloquy clone and 40% Musque clone). Aged and fermented for 7 months in a combination of concrete, stainless steel, and French oak. Large production with 4,100 cases produced.
