This amazing country, El Dorado, never ceases to amaze me. The 2011 White Lotus is a delightful blend of Grenache Blanc and Vermentino. Floral and aromatic, sweet and smooth with hints of licorice. Nectarine and vanilla with nice acidity. A light to medium bodied wine can be paired with light fish and chicken dishes, seafood, and soft cheese.</p>http://emmaklyons.tumblr.com/post/49554013963http://emmaklyons.tumblr.com/post/49554013963Fri, 03 May 2013 18:09:27 -0700El Dorado CountyWine ReviewRome Valley Vineyard<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/091f054aa0b5cc03cc9a46d5239dd70b/tumblr_mk2hagzV0A1qdhlvso1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Mt.
