The Whip 2014 is an elegant and balanced wine, fruit driven with a hint of toasty oak. While this is a Chardonnay and Semillon led style, each grape varietal has a purpose in our blend that I hand select to add elements like structure, texture, floral notes, and acidity. This unique wine showcases juicy fruit flavors of white peach, pear and melon with bright acidity and a touch of sweetness that creates a smooth and creamy finish.

"This light straw colored kitchen sink white blend opens a fragrant apricot and lychee like bouquet with a hint of red apple. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a tasty orange and lychee blend with notes of pineapple. I also detect hints of grapefruit. The finish is off-dry and refreshing. This wine would pair with linguine and garlic shrimp. Enjoy"

Aromatics of apricots, peaches, and tropical fruits come together with traces of honeysuckle on the nose. Apricots, honeydew, and mango flavors emerge on the palate, along with notes of white blossoms and honey. Inviting, with a nice roundness but still a fresh acidity, it’s a lovely wine to sip on a warm evening.
