2006 Butcher's Block White

The 2006 Butcher’s Block White is composed of 80% Marsanne and 20% Viognier. Eighty percent of the wine was barrel-fermented in French oak, 20% new; 50% was lees stirred, and 15% went through partial malolactic fermentation. Honeysuckle, citrus, waxy notes, and hints of pit fruits compose a very fragrant perfume leading to a southern Rhone-styled wine with racy flavors, excellent acidity and concentration, and a lengthy finish. Drink this stylish wine through 2015. Turkey Flat Vineyards has been owned by the Schulz family since 1865. The winery has established a consistent track record over the years and it is a fine portfolio from top to bottom. Importer: George Galey, American Estates Wines, Summit, NJ; www.turkeyflat.com.au
