Chateau Morrisette's Review
"A blend on Traminette, Vidal Blanc, Riesling, and Chardonnay, this refreshing dry white wine is packed with the lively fruit characters of grapefruit and melon. The smooth texture and entrancing aromas of white flowers and roses complete this delicious tribute to Independence."
My Review
This wine was deliciously light bodied and very smooth on the palate. With a nose of fresh-cut flowers (think Carnations), a glass of this will have you sitting out on the front porch in early evening with a light breeze blowing. On the palate the wine strikes first with citrus, high on the lemon notes, and finishes with a slight orange aftertaste. While there was no distinct mid-palate, this wine's simplicity makes it a wonderful choice for summer outings and a light alternative to heavier wines. Plus, a portion of the proceeds go to support rescue dogs raised in Roanoke, VA. What could make a wine more delicious than that?!
