FUSION White 2009
Gill Creek Ranch, Proprietary White Blend, Estate Bottled
Our Rhône Viognier fuses with a pinch of German Gewürztraminer to produce bright, tantalizing aromas of floral honeysuckle, lemon and orange with a backbone of minerality and a light brushing of lemongrass. Alive and zesty – a waterfall of tropical pineapple, lemon, tangy grapefruit and walnut over crushed stones, creates our most intriguing, food-friendly Fusion to date. One of the few wines we know that can dance harmoniously with asparagus. Throw a pork filet on the grill for an exquisite dinner. 125 cases.
