DeLille 2009 Chaleur Estate Blanc White (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Washington
Variety: Bordeaux-style White Blend
Winery: DeLille / Chaleur Estate Blanc

Consistent year after year, this blend of 67% Sauvignon Blanc and 33% Sémillon is modeled after top-flight white Bordeaux. Deep gold, toasty and scented with olive oil, walnuts and loam, it hits the palate full-on with a rainbow of flavors: citrus, stone and tropical fruits, all accented with toast, oil and nuts from barrel aging. Riveting, delicious and unique.
