Lately, I have been trying a lot of white blends, falling in love with Seven Daughters, as well as Evolution, and on my last wine run, I found this little darling.

Comprising Chenin Blanc (34%), Chardonnay (17%), Roussane (16%) and Viognier(11%), this wine presents a nice well-rounded assortment of flavors where no one particular wine is jockeying for a dominant position. The Roussanne tempers this wine nicely, while the Viognier more or less gives it a nice gamey-ness.

I can say nothing more but that this wine for now is a solid 9. Pick it up.
