Iron Horse Cuvee R Sauvignon Blanc/Viognier 2003
White Wine
from Sonoma County, California
winemaker's notes:
This unique blend of Sauvignon Blanc and 15% Viognier produced by Winemaker Forrest Tancer is dedicated to Forrest's mother, Renee Tancer, whom he credits for giving him his love of wine and the land. It is the proprietary wine white of T-bar-T and smells exactly the way that vineyard smells in the springtime.
Food Pairing: A great vegetable wine, especially anything to do with tomatoes and basil; Florida stone crab; grilled lobster, broiled white fish with a tangy sauce.
"This winery continues to produce strong efforts including the beautiful 2003 Cuvee R T-Bar-T Vineyard, a blend of 82% Sauvignon Blanc and 18% Viognier. There is abundant character in its big, projected nose of melons, rose petals, honeyed grapefruit, and orange rinds. Medium-bodied, dry, crisp, and refreshing, it should be consumed over the next 1-2 years."
