Wine Review: This pale white gold colored blend from Olivia Brion opens with a bosc pear and lemon verbena bouquet with hints of white peach, jasmine, and honeydew melon. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, supple, and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is stony minerality and white peach blend with notes of almond and mild white grapefruit. We also detected hints tarragon, lemongrass, and white tea. The finish is dry, and its flavors and acidity drift away nicely. We would pair this food friendly and versatile white blend with fish n’ chips, a stuffed quahog, or with ceviche. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: The wine enters with verbose aromatics of fresh honeysuckle flower, candied orange blossom and a touch of key lime pie. This wine brightens the palate with a high arc of acidity tempered by pleasing viscosity and a subtle creaminess. The only thing that would make this wine better is a plate full of freshly shucked Kumamoto oysters.
