Wine Advocate
"The 2009 Bridesmaid White displays loads of spring garden-like floral notes intermixed with some honeysuckle, white peach, pineapple, and melon. This exotic, luscious, dry, mid-weight white should be drunk over the next year. This is a brilliant project putting together blends that are declassified from other wineries. In this case, ten wineries contributed to the 2009 white wine blend, which is 63% Sauvignon Blanc and 37% Semillon, and 20 wineries for the 2007 Bridesmaid Red, a final blend of 44% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec. These are impressively put-together wines, and all the credit first has to go to whoever buys the already made juice and, secondly, whoever assembles these blends." - Robert Parker 90 Points (12/2010)
Bridesmaid White
Fresh and complex, this blend tastes of sweet honeydew melon, ripe peaches, cream and a touch of apricot. There’s a wonderful mineral quality, fresh milled flowers, and a lively acidity giving the wine an effortless balance. Pairs well with everything from chicken and fish to soft cheeses. Production: 1,400 cases
This Bridesmaid White brings together a multitude of winemaking techniques from great sources in one savory balanced white wine. Individual vineyards were picked, pressed then fermented in stainless tanks and french oak barrels. Fresh and complex, this blend tastes of white peach, cream and crushed shells. There is a wonderful mineral quality, fresh milled flowers, and a lively acidity which makes this Sauvignon Blanc Semillon blend perfect to pair with food or just on its own!
