Mission Codename Race to the White House
Happy Saturday, Operative. Nice to see you here.
Today, we’re very happy to welcome back one of our favorite winemakers, Derek Rohlffs, who we first became acquainted with last year. Derek’s wines are fantastic, and today’s Outlier 2013 Chez Blanc Chardonnay is one of his best value-priced wines to date.
Derek Rohlffs’ Bravium, Formidable, and Chardonnais wines have all been fantastic - and well-loved by our Operatives.
Today’s wine is bright and fresh on the nose, with aromas of pineapple, green apple, cedar, lemongrass, lime leaf, sweet cream butter and toasty oak.
On the palate it is creamy on entry, with flavors of fresh green apple, peach, apricot, lemon zest, white spice, cedar, vanilla, sweet cream butter, white flowers, pineapple, and oak.
Decant for best results and allow the wine to warm slightly after opening. Magical things begin to happen as the wine warms even just a little bit; fruits emerge, the wine softens and the overall experience becomes even better.
Enjoy!
