Clos Du Val Proprietary 2015 White Wine, $16.99-$45.99, 90 points, poured a pale gold color clearing before the glass wall.
Aromas of grapefruit, orange peel, and a musk-like perfume were excellent.
Light-plus body with fair-plus acidity carried good flavors of grapefruit, lime, and Lychee.
Finished on the fading palate with hints of ginger and a well-balanced 13.5% alcohol.
Varietals were 63% Gewürztraminer, 20% Chardonnay, and 17% Sauvignon Blanc.
700-780 cases made.
Paired nicely with my loaded hotdogs.

Used to love CDV's Zinfandel (years ago). Have not tried this, but I'd like to.
ReplyDeleteVG: Always a solid wine; sadly their Cabs have become so expensive; used to be between $23-$35, but now they're $50-$60.
