2008 Cosentino Winery - The Novelist White Meritage Blend
- Tasting Notes
- Fresh lemon blossom, honeydew melon and quince raise the curtain on this aromatic wine. Youthful and bright tangerine citrus flavors are well-balanced by the palate’s somewhat creamy notes and elegant minerality. Honey, tangerine and lemon peel meld in the zesty and expansive finish.
