You won't find much varietal character in this blend of Viognier, Riesling, Chardonnay, Verdelho and Semillon, but what you get is a medium-bodied white that should prove versatile at the table. Peach, pear and citrus aromas and flavors are carried by moderate weight and a slightly creamy texture.——J.C.(7/1/2009)—— 89
