Straw green color. Aromas and flavors of pressed lilies, green chives and pink peppercorn, carnations and magnolia, peach, melon, and and tangerine with a round, soft, dryish medium body and an interesting, medium-length finish with overtones of apple juice, potpourri, white tea, and pear puree.

Other US White

Serve in a White Wine Glass

While white varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling are very important throughout wine regions in the US, there are numerous others planted in various zones. In California, Italian varieties such as Pinot Grigio and Arneis can be found, while producers in Santa Barbara and Paso Robles work with white Rhone varieties such as Marsanne and Viognier.

New York State works with hybrid grapes, both French and American. Among these are Cayuga, Seyval Blanc and Vignoles. This last grape is also grown in various Midwest states such as Missouri, Indiana and Illinois.
