Arizona Stronghold Wines-Tazi White Wine 2009
TAZI, eldest son of Cochise and peacemaker for the
Chiricahua Apache.
Sauvignon Blanc (52%), Chardonnay (21%), Riesling
(19%), Malvasia (8%)
Aged in a mixture of stainless steel and neutral oak, this wine shows best at cellar temperature - about 58 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. If over chilled, the
Sauvignon Blanc tends to dominate and the wine is sharper. With a little more warmth, the mandarin orange from the Riesling and the floral, tropical flavors from the Malvasia shine. Like all serious
wines, time in the glass also helps this wine to open up like the peeling of petals from a flower. This is quintessential Arizona.
