Comments: In our quest to expand beyond our “California comfort zone,” we took a liking to this affordable French table wine, primarily because it’s different than anything we’ve tasted before. It’s a blend of five types of grapes: Grenache Blanc (50%), Bourboulene (20%), Marsanne (10%), Roussanne (10%), and Vioginer (10%), all of which are harvested from French Vineyards cultivated for more than 2,000 years. Because it combines so much, this wine is a bit hard to describe. It’s soft and dry throughout with mellow fruit flavors. It is golden-hued and peach scented. We enjoyed it with grilled salmon but think that shellfish and certain white fish would also work well with it.
A&T Ranking: 7.5/10
