52% Sauvignon Blanc; 48% Semillon. This complex blending of ripe fig, honeyed melons, toasty oak and background grassy and stony notes is as outgoing in its round, slightly viscous flavors as it is in its first nose. A delight from front to back, and one of the most successful blends of these two varieties seen in California, Virtu is a wine that can as easily accompany a piece of grilled sea bass as a savory chicken dish.

"Medium-light golden yellow; attractive, toasty, herbal, slightly grassy, white peach, nectarine, and grapefruit aroma with hints of fig and butterscotch; medium-full to full body; forward, moderately rich, texutred, citrus and white peach flavors with notes of coconut and toasty oak; lingering aftertaste. Shows some complexity. Highly recommended." -January 2008
