Tasting note:

This glass of floral loveliness comes from a blend of 55% Marsanne and 45% Viognier grapes, the tradition Rhone Valley whites of France. Marsanne provides the backbone while Viognier contributes those gorgeous aromatics of dried apricot and honeysuckle. Food matches: dish with richness, lobster in a butter cream sauce, spiced roast chicken in a cream sauce and roast pork with a nutted sauce, aged gouda cheese such as a beemster.

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:

The 2008 Treana white's color is reminscent of the golden hillsides of the California Central Coast at harvest time. A beautiful bouquet of peaches and lime is bolstered by aromatic notes of honeysuckle. Full in body and rich in flavor, the wine invigorates the palate with dried apricot, pineapple, subtle citrus flavors and notes of honey, which continue through a long finish. The 2008 will age gracefully over the next decade.
