Winery review:  Made from 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viognier. 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow golden color with green hints. The wine is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apples flavors, toasty vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal, vegetables.(02/28/2013- Vintage Cellar, Blacksburg, VA)

My review:This white wine had a pear nose. It did not taste super sweet, and had more of a bitter taste. I would have like to taste this wine with food, however I did not have any food with this wine tasting.
