Caduceus Cellars Merkin Vineyards Chupacabra Blanca

Interesting kitchen sink type blend, vibrant yellow in the glass, aromatic nose of citrus with notes of dried yellow rose petals, moderate acidity, palate of stone fruit, peach, Meyer lemon, Bartlett pear, fruit is unripe, alcohol is medium +, medium finish that is a bit overpowered by the alcohol.

Lots of poetry on the bottle, but nothing that tells me what type of white grape varietal is in the bottle. Guessing this is some type of Muscat variety or Gewurztraminer blend, and a little ripe on that account. Overall a tasty white that I would consume immediately upon release as this is lacking just a bit now that it's almost 3 years since harvest. Mostly fruity apricot, mango & spice.....Gewurztraminer spice.

The Gewurztraminer really shines through aromatically. Floral aromas of white flowers, peach, and stone fruit mingle with jasmine, stone, and spice notes with a hint banana. The round palate translates, with stone fruits of apricot, peach, spice, and light touches of banana. Moderate finish. A blend of 26% Pinot Grigio, 26% Sauvignon Blanc, 22% Gewurztraminer, 12.5% Chenin Blanc and 12.5% Vermentino
