Texturally it&#8217;s similar to Viognier, but with clean Granny Smith Apple flavors, mineral complexity and a touch of peach. This wine finishes with a clean, crisp, fresh fruit taste and a perfect acid balance. </p> <p><b><u>Food Pairings</u></b> <br />This wine plays well with a range of light dishes. In the cheese department, its crisp acidity begs for a fromage of similar character &#8211; try a good goat cheese / Ch&#232;vre. </p> <p>Cheers! <br />Dave the Wine Merchant</p> </font></font></P> <P> <LI>SKU: TDB-GB-06 </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/sideways/Category2" TITLE="All Wines (alphabetically)">All Wines (alphabetically)</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sideways/Product943 TITLE="Adelaida Cellars, 2005 Cabernet">Adelaida Cellars, 2005 Cabernet</A> -- A deep and earthy Cabernet, from Paso Robles West Side <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sideways/Product888 TITLE="Adelaida Cellars, 2005 Reserve Cabernet, Viking Estate Vineyard">Adelaida Cellars, 2005 Reserve Cabernet, Viking Estate Vineyard</A> -- The wine that is the jewel in the portfolio of Adelaida Cellars, from Paso Robles famed West Side <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/sideways/Product794 TITLE="Andrew Murray Vineyard, 2005 Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley">Andrew Murray Vineyard, 2005 Syrah, Santa Ynez Valley</A> -- A favorite selection from our Rhone blending classes.
