Yazgan Vodina 2013 Fumé Blanc

Fumé Blanc and I are not friends. We do not get along well at all. I without exception prefer my Sauvignon Blanc fresh, clean, and oak free. However, I wanted to try Yazgan’s Vodina Fumé Blanc when I came across it.

In the spirit of “don’t judge a book by its cover” I want to try everything. Just because I have not liked Fumé Blanc from…well literally anyone, doesn’t mean that I won’t like it in a wine I have yet to try. I mean, heck, I’ve come around to Merlot! So why not Fumé Blanc?

The 2013 Vodina Fumé Blanc showed a pretty dark straw color that unfolded aromas of citrus oil, flowers, campfire toasted marshmallows, and savory. Medium bodied with 13.5% alcohol, the wine retained that sweet smoky campfire  element. Orange peel added a burst of freshness before the wine’s journey into a long, sensual finish.

Very nice, very well done.
