Naked Earth Blanc 2016

A clean, pale gold color, accented by the Chardonnay in the wine. Floral and full on the nose, with scents of apricot and apple. Crisp upon entry, with the immediate notes of lemon and grapefruit, moving into more flavors like vanilla and hibiscus flowers, ends on a dry finish with gripping texture, coming from the wines’ generous minerality and balanced acidity

Organic and value priced, this is an attractive and easy-to-drink Merlot-Grenache blend. Cassis and black berry conquer the palate, with traces of bell pepper, juniper and cedary spice in the background.
