2007 Noblesse Blanc

  • This wine is teeming with aromas of fresh fruit – orange, lemon, melon, and pineapple. The palate gives way to aromas of orange zest against an off-dry background complemented by robust acidity. A blend dominated by Vidal Blanc, with Seyval Blanc, Viognier, and Chardonnay. Pair with lighter fare such as salads and cheeses. 0.8% residual sugar. Drink within 1 year.

Lots of mellow tannins provide for substantial weight and sweetness on the palate. Aromas of mocha, caramel, and graphite against a classic Bordeaux base of restrained fruit.
