Description The first VQA white on offer for this official Olympic wine brand still offers pretty good value at the price point and gives $1.25 from each bottle purchased towards our Olympic athletes. The wine was tasted in conjunction with a small tasting panel of 4 people so as to remove what may be perceived as my potential bias. The nose is oaky, buttery and vanilla driven, while the palate has all the fruit that the nose lacks. Citrus, apple, over ripe pear and a touch of vanilla to round it all out. There is also a pleasant lingering on the palate in the finish. A panel member mentioned, “it’s Chardonnay-Light” … and I would agree. Price: $12.85
