2005 Fumé Blanc - Columbia Valley

The 2005 vintage is straw in color, and brilliant in the glass. A slight herbal character is played-up in the aroma and down-played on the palate. A slight herbal character is played-up in the aroma and down-played on the palate. It has fine balance and lively acidity. Concentrated flavors of pear, peach, and melon are predominating. The wine is crisp with a dry lingering finish. With seafood dishes, especially shellfish, it is a family favorite. Goat cheese, grilled vegetables, and white meats, are also great pairings. This wine serves as an excellent aperitif. $14.99
