Tasting Notes:  White peaches, citrus, and lemon peel combine with ripe pears and apples that enticingly teasing the senses. Hints of flint and wet stone minerality add nicely to the complexity.  This wine is smooth, yet offers balanced acidity for a nice clean finish of citrus and crisp apples.

Winemaking Notes:  The Calico White is our extremely popular white blend. There are reasons for that! It all starts in the vineyards where we have the cooler climate Yakima Valley grapes playing against fuller flavored Columbia Valley and Walla Walla fruit. The attributes from these different areas go hand in hand and they are being accentuated at the winery utilizing many different fermentation vessels and techniques to create a clean, crisp and enormously complex blend!

Our favorite foods with this wine: Toasted baguette rounds with goat cheese and drizzled with white truffle oil. Chicken Piccata with capers and sauteed artichoke hearts (be sure to add some CW in the sauce!)
