Sarah’s Vineyard 2014 Madonne Blanc White (Santa Clara Valley)

Country: US / Madonne Blanc
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend California
Winery: Sarah’s Vineyard / Santa Clara Valley

This blend of 70% Roussanne, 14% Grenache Blanc, 10% Viognier and 6% Picpoul Blanc shows potential but is still finding its way. Aromas of Key-lime pith, sea salt, honeydew and walnut oil lead into a slightly bitter palate with tobacco flavors, dried yellow fruit, orange rinds and more nut oils.
