Fess Parker Mélange Blanc

Over the hill

Nose of melon & honeysuckle. Silky mouthfeel with apricot and honeydew notes predominating. As it warmed it got a little too sticky sweet, but a brief dunk in the ice bucket calmed it down again. A very dependable wine for entertaining that is sufficiently complex to enjoy tasting but at the same time will not be wasted by more casual drinking.

Tasted at the winery. Quick notes: great nose of tropical fruits with a dry finish. Good.

Very nice... almost like a riesling/chardonnay/viognier blend.

I thought it a great wine. It is a bit sweeter than I typically enjoy, but after each taste had diminished, I was eagerly ready for another. Allison had not yet had a sip. She likely won't have a chance.
