Toasted Head Untamed White

I saw Toasted Head's 2010 Untamed White on the store shelf. The label read it was a blend of Chardonnay, Viognier, and Moscato.  Sounded nice.  Had to taste it.  

2010 Untamed White is a new wine for Toasted Head and is fremented 50% stainless steel and 50% used French oak.  A blend of 70% Viognier, 27% Chardonnay, and 3% Moscato. The aromas were honey and peach.  Flavors, peach and tropical fruit with a pithy tartness.  Crisp and balanced. 

Winemaker's Notes:  "A bright light straw color, offers unrestrained and voluptuous aromas of  honeysuckle, vanilla bean, orange blossoms and pear followed by juicy white peach, fresh kiwi and other tantalizing, exotic fruit flavors. It tastes amazing with Asian cuisine, white fish or hors d’oeuvres.

We harvested vineyards blocks on our Dunnigan Hills Estate where warm-climate Viognier and Chardonnay produce rich tropical fruit flavors and floral notes. We blended in some Chardonnay from Mendocino County to contribute a natural acidity along with pear flavors, and we added a small portion of Moscato to enhance aromas."
