winemaker's notes:

Blend: 52% Sauvignon Blanc, 48% Semillon

Refined rich luscious style with aromas of nectarines, peach and ripe cantaloupe. On the palate, the mouthwatering flavors of peaches and nectarines are completely filled out with a subtle mineral quality.

This is a unique bottle of wine to be enjoyed now for its freshness and in the future as it develops in the bottle.

critical acclaim:

"52% Sauvignon Blanc; 48% Semillon. This complex blending of ripe fig, honeyed melons, toasty oak and background grassy and stony notes is as outgoing in its round, slightly viscous flavors as it is in its first nose. A delight from front to back, and one of the most successful blends of these two varieties seen in California, Virtu is a wine that can as easily accompany a piece of grilled sea bass as a savory chicken dish."

This wine is so refreshing and crisp, perfect for sipping on a lazy afternoon. We have also paired it with various seafood dishes, such as poached lobster, and it was perfect. We also enjoyed it with an assortment of appetizers and it worked very nicely.

It's everything that it states - nectarines, peach with a touch of minerality. It's crisp and fresh with a very smooth finish. Virtu also has some storage life to it because of the semillon. We just had the 2000 and 2001 and it was great. Each time I've had Virtu, my response is WOW.
