Grand Cru Wine Merchants

First release from the Vine Connections of this beautifully aromatic white.  70% Chardonnay: Tupungato- Gualtallary, 15% Sauvignon Blanc: La Consulta, 15% Torrontes: Cafayate (Salta)

The unoaked 2009 Cocina Blanco de Blancos is an intriguing blend of 70% Chardonnay, 15% Torrontes, and 15% Sauvignon Blanc. It exhibits an excellent bouquet of mineral, citrus, and lemon meringue leading to a medium-bodied, dry, intensely flavored, ripe wine that would be a fine match for a crab cake. -88pts WA (JM)
