2007 DeLille Cellars Chaleur Estate Blanc - USA, Washington, Columbia Valley (9/23/2009)
WIML89-90

Tasted September 23, 2009 at an offline.

Opened and served immediately. Light yellow color in the glass. clear hue throughout. Nose of creme, toast, coconut, lychee and a hint of grapefruit. Flavors of light grapefruit notes up front followed by lime, a hint of peach and a little vanilla. Medium acidity and body. Drink over the short term. From the nose to the palate this wine seems to be quite the conundrum to the senses. (89 pts.)

Any food served w/this? I’ve found that this wine plays well with others but is sort of an odd character on its own.

Yes. A mix of seafood appetizers was served while this wine was being poured along with others.
