Simple Machine 2013 Leverage White (Rogue Valley)

Country: US / Oregon
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend
Winery: Simple Machine / Leverage

Made in the style of a southern Rhône blend (half Viognier and one quarter each Marsanne and Roussanne), this is lightly lemony, with a bit more fat in the middle. None of the three grapes overpowers the others, but the flavors feel a bit generic. Though fermented in stainless steel, it’s gold in color and shows some hints of toast.
