Primal Roots White Blend

Super Bowl weekend I did a tasting with Primal Roots 2010 Red Blend (reviewed on February 14th).  Customers loved it.  Recently, while walking through Costco's wine section I found Primal Roots White Blend.  I had to taste to see if it was as good as the red.  

Primal Roots 2011 White Blend is from California (70% North Valley, 30% Central Coast).  It is a blend of 50% Viognier,, 20% French Colombard, 15% Riesling, and 15% Gewurztraminer.  That sounded like heaven to me.  The aroma was all peach.  The flavor was peach and lychee with an ever so slight spice.  Mouthfeel was a tad creamy.  Acidity was between low and medium.  A very nice, enjoyable blend.   

Winemaker's Notes:  "The Primal Roots White Blend is a fusion of four varietals—Viognier, French Colombard, Riesling, and Gewürztraminer.  

     The Viognier makes up 50% of the blend and provides honeysuckle, peach, and apricot as well as a creamy texture.  

     The French Colombard adds the bright and crisp acidity. It also contributes a hint of spice to the blend.  

     Riesling lends a very floral orange blossom note, which balances well with the fruit.    

     Gewürztraminer is known for its lychee and spicy characters. This variety adds complexity to the final blend, making it a truly sensual and captivating wine."
