Tasting - Serenity NOW!

Name: Serenity NOW!
Variety: White
Region: Clearlake Oak, CA
Country: US
Year: 2011
Price: $13.95

Shop/wine critic/Winery Review: The 2011 vintage was marked by a cool wet spring, a long growing season and a very small crop. The 2011 Serenity is a distinctive proprietary blend that displays fruit forward aromas of citrus, honeysuckle, nectarine and with expressive minerality. The flavors are rich and deep showing white peach, passion fruit, and honeydew melon with a hint of lime. The wine is well-balanced, leaving a long, clean and well-textured finish, like summer in a glass.

My Review: When I first smelled this wine, I actually got a hint of cheese on the nose.  I don’t know where it came form but it smelled like a nice cheddar cheese freshly shredded!  It also had hints of a passion fruit on it after I got past the cheese smell of course.  The taste was very well balanced and not very bitter.  It was also extremely light and was just fine to drink.  Probably would have enjoyed this with a block of cheese!
