I really love this wine from the Central Coast, (read that Paso Robles) every time I have this wine and it does not matter what year it is, this wine rolls over my palate like a steam shovel of fermented fig, honey and nutty goodness. If you have not had the pleasure of "her" company, seek her out and try it today. I say her, simply because Treana sounds like a girls name, I know this appears chauvinistic, but I don't care!
This wine is widely distributed, but I picked it up @ the Costco here in San Diego for about $15.00. You really can't go wrong! It is great to drink by it self or paired with food. I paired this wine with some BBQ'd pork chops, scalloped potato's, and a yummie spinach salad.. Not sure if you can read the label all too well but this wine is Viognier 66% and Marsanne 34%. These two blended varietals are match made in heaven. I would definitely score this wine at least 93 Pt's and I've snatched off the label and thrown it into my wine journal!
(Yes I am that kind of cork dork, I keep a wine journal with the labels of wine I like, what I paired it with, how much I paid, where I purchased it from and of course my how my palate scored a particular wine. ) August 22, 2008
