The 2010 Calico White is a blend of 36% Chardonnay, 27% Viognier, 26% Roussanne, and 11% Marsanne aged in a combination of neutral oak and stainless steel sur lie for 5 months. Pleasing aromas of honey, spring flowers, mineral, peach, and pear inform the nose of a crisp, flavorful, vibrant wine whose ripe fruit is nicely framed by the elevated acidity of the vintage. Enjoy this excellent value over the next 2-3 years. Annette Bergevin and Amber Lane continue to turn out excellent wines at very fair prices from their Walla Walla-based winery. The current releases, particularly the Syrah cuvees, appear to be their best wines to date. The Calico wines are always terrific values and the new releases are no exception.Tel.

Bergevin Lane’s Calico White never fails to please. The 2010 is one-third Chardonnay, the rest a mix of Viognier, Roussanne and Marsanne. Dry and silky, with subtle stone fruit flavors and authoritative grip, this nicely balanced wine has exceptional length for its modest price. ——P.G.(2/1/2012)—— 90
