Tasting - CH Artist's White Blend

Variety of Grape(s): Pinot Gris, Riesling, Viognier, Moscato, Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer
Country of Origin: United States of America
Region of Origin: California
Vintage Year: 2024

This wine was the third wine out of eight at my Cooper's Hawk Winery tasting. Following the Cooper's Hawk White and preceding the Chardonnay, I was met with a very mild, fruity experience that was a good bridge between the two wines.

Nose: Apple, grape, extremely mild, floral, vanilla

The nose was very mild, however I caught a lot of apple and grape notes. Following the fruit, there was a nice floral, oaky, vanilla finish.

Taste: Floral, drier, yogurty, ethanol, lemon, pineapple

The taste was very floral and drier than I expected. I got some notes of yogurt and vanilla, and the ethanol was a bit strong. The finish was very fruity and citrusy with a nice lemon and pineapple flavor.


Wine Critic Review: From Teri Greger on Vivino.com (1145 ratings on the site and 135th in the US)

"Fruity but not sweet, although some sweet wine drinkers may enjoy it! Look for flavors of yellow apple, Meyer lemon, pineapple, white flowers, and cream. Pair this wine with rich seafood and creamy pasta."

The Artist's White Blend was a nice mild mediator between the Cooper's Hawk White and Chardonnay, and though it didn't stand out in any way, it was very nice and a good experience overall. I rate it a 3/5.
