My second St Supery sample thanks to Rick Bakas and the fine people of St Supery Winery was the 2006 Virtu White Wine Meritage. This wine is a blend of 52% Sauvignon Blanc and 48% Semillon.In the glass I could smell the aroma of oak, melon and a slight hint of grapefruit. Fresh and crisp as well. Alright enough on the smell let's get to tasting.
Nice big citrus flavor and crisp. The combination of grapefruit/melon followed by the oak gives the wine excellent flavor. Juicy citrus finish leaves you wanting another glass.
I enjoyed this wine before dinner and with a dish of baked chicken in broth over pasta. Either way your friends deserve to be served this excellent wine.
