TASTING NOTES:
“Crisp, bright, and inviting, the 2017 White Blend is boasting a bouquet of pear, golden apple pie, white stone fruits, pineapple and subtle hazelnut. The entry is energetic and generous, exhibiting flavors of lemon curd, lychee and quince. While this is a fresh, juicy, mouth-watering white wine, it has an incredible midpalate weight and texture with zesty acidity and minerality carrying the flavors through to the lengthy finish.” (AbV 13.5%, pH 3.35, 65% Colombard 35% Chardonnay)

BARRELS:
7 months in French oak, 85% neutral and 15% new.

TANGENTIALLY RELATED FACT to help you make conversation over this wine:
Lumbar is actually only an adjective and not another name for a part of the body. It makes something refer to the area between the diaphragm and the sacrum. So basically the torso. For example, you’ve got the lumbar region which refers to the lower spine and back. The lumbar vertebrae are the five largest moveable parts of the spine. The lumbar portion of the spine is under the most strain due to it supporting most of the body’s weight. But there is no such thing as a lumbar.

PAIRS WITH (winery recommended):
Fresh crab, lemon/rosemary roasted chicken, seafood pasta or risotto.

OR (really-going-with-the-theme-option):
Good lumbar support.
