Notably spicy and floral, showing a touch of mint, with pear, melon and apple scents, turning simpler.
From the Wine Maker – “Each geographic partner in our Ménage à Trois Chardonnay contributes a distinctive quality: fresh citrus aromas from Monterey; lush tropical fruit flavors from Santa Barbara; and fine structure from Mendocino. We’d like to say it’s a Ménage made in heaven, but to be truthful, it was made in Napa Valley. (Hey, who’s splitting hairs?)
A great food wine, it will complement dishes like Halibut, Mahi Mahi, Monkfish, Red Snapper, Rock cod, Salmon, Sea Bass, Shark, Sole, Swordfish, Tilapia, Trout and Tuna sautéed, grilled, roasted or baked with or without sauces.
