Wine Review: This light straw-colored blend of Chenin Blanc and Viognier opens with a Chamomile tea and honey blend with notes of mango, white grapefruit and peach pit. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, slightly acidic and round. The flavor profile is a quince and apricot blend with notes of white pepper and guava. I also detected some hints of saline, lime and tangerine in the after taste. There is a freshness to the finish as the flavors and acidity linger nicely. This good value white blend would pair well with an apricot-glazed halibut. Enjoy – Ken & Dave

Winemaker Notes: Crisp, bright, and vivacious, CB+V 2019 is an aromatic white blend boasting a bouquet of honeysuckle, orange blossoms, ruby grapefruit, white peach, and jasmine tea. The entry is both bright and mouth filling exhibiting refreshing acidity and roundness, opening to flavors of tangerine, lime, and lemon curd, lemongrass, ginger, white peach, and green apple. This delicious wine finishes clean and long with a lingering hint of lime. This versatile wine pairs well with light salads, seafood, and foods with a hint of spiciness.
