2016 Delille Chaleur Blanc, Columbia Valley

This vibrant, lightly golden wine offers aromas of grapefruit, apples and pears, complimented by earthy notes of golden hay and wet stones. Offering hints of tropical fruit, apricots and candied lemon, the palate is enhanced with subtle barrel notes of light vanilla, eucalyptus and caramel, with a savory streusel character. This 2016 presents Chaleur Blanc's characteristic crisp acidity, with a noteworthy dense core of fruit that extends well into a lengthy finish.
