2008 Arger-Martucci Vineyards Iliad |
||||||||
 The Iliad is a complement to our proprietary red wine called Odyssey. Representing the true art of winemaking, this blend achieves a body, flavor and richness that proves superior to any of its individual parts. Harvested from select vineyards in Napa and Mendocino counties, the four aromatic varietals that compose the Iliad are Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Muscat. The bouquet is truly exotic with an immediate impression of melon, pear and even coconut. The mouthfeel is incredibly rich with hints of tropical spice, which suggests Viognier first, then Gewurtztraminer, and finally, a hint of grapefruit from the Sauvignon Blanc. There is a small amount (less than one-half of one percent) of residual sugar, which enhances the richness on the palate. This wine serves as a wonderful aperitif and is an excellent complement to spicy foods. 496 cases produced. |
