The White Gold is made in the Fort Berens Lillooet winery from Black Sage Bench Chardonnay grapes. It was matured in oak barrels for nine months.
Toasted nuts, honey and browned butter notes swirl around spiced apple sauce. The palate is creamy with spiced butter, toasted oak and citrus.
A bit hollow mid-palate without the concentration, lushness and fruit of the 2010 vintage.
