Natalie's Review

Clayhouse Adobe Viognier Sauvignon Blanc Grenache Blanc Roussanne Chardonnay Chenin Blanc 2008, Central Coast, California, United States: Vintages Wine Panel: This proprietary white earned Gold Medals at the 2009 California Mid-State Fair and the 2009 Riverside International Wine Competition. The 2008 is comprised of 22% Viognier, 18% Sauvignon Blanc, 17% Grenache Blanc, 16% Roussanne, 6% Chardonnay, 5% Chenin Blanc, and 16% Princess. Princess is a cross between Muscat and Thompson seedless grapes. Originally designed as a table grape, it is now being experimented with as a winemaking variety. Claystone may be on to something with this floral-scented, full-bodied wine packed with red apple, pear and peach fruit flavours. My note: A pretty floral wine with notes of rose petal, daisies, peach and Asian pear.  137059  13%  MD  750 mL  $16.95  Score: 87/100. October 10, 2009  Full Review
