Tasting Note:August 25, 2017

Our wine and last of the blind white wines at this quarter's S&E Wine Club, which for whites was Chardonnay vs Chenin Blanc.

Medium golden yellow. Tons of oak influence on the nose, buttery, citrus creme, peach and woody notes. Medium plus acidity (6.5/10) and full bodied. Rich and creamy texture with butter scotch, ripe apples, almost baked, and some citrus notes. Long and lingering finish. Love the complexity and layers of this wine by Luc Morlet, need to find more.

Had to grab this bottling when we saw it on Last Bottle Wines just because of the winemaker, Luc Morlet. Definitely glad we did!p>
