The 2019 The Field Blend was crafted from 42% Chenin Blanc, 30% Roussanne, 17% Verdelho and 11% Viognier. A beautiful and elegant wine, this wine beams with floral expressions; aromas of honeysuckle, white rose and acacia flutter out of the glass with fruit flavors of bright citrus, yellow apple, white peach, pineapple and wax melon. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is elegant with a soft waxiness and pleasing texture to the mid-palate. It offers a sweetness of fruit with an impressive soft minerality that lingers in the mouth. The wine concludes with a thoughtfully long-lingering finish and a kiss of phenolic bitterness that makes this wine more complex and food friendly. This 14,400-bottle production comes recommended. Bravo!
