Light gold color. Aromas and flavors of white grape jam, mandarin orange, daffodil, heirloom apple, peach jam, and butter with a satiny, crisp, off-dry light-to-medium body and a smooth, interesting, medium-length finish conveying elements of apricot sorbet and buttercream with no oak flavor. A bold and juicy Vignoles with a charming rustic edge.
