Its fresh nose features tropical tones along with white peach, nectarine and jasmine. The drink offers a blend of rich peach and Asian pear flavors, bringing plenty of acidity for food and a lip-smacking finish of Mandarin orange.  Reminiscent of some Dijon-clone Chardonnays emerging from the North Willamette Valley, Hat Ranch adds proof that this early-ripening white out of Burgundy deserves a place in Idaho’s future.
