FRANCISCAN EQUILIBRIUM WHITE BLEND, CALIFORNIA
By: Ed "The Wine Guy"
From one of the most prestigious vineyards in Napa comes this very delicious and refreshing white blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, and Muscat. It lives up to its name: Equilibrium is a harmonious balance of flavor and acidity. It is relatively dry, with a touch of sweetness, and exhibits aromas and flavors of pears and peaches and suggestions of other fruits, including apricots and melons. A wine may be chosen because its taste is similar to the taste of a food, making it complementary, for instance, a spicy Zinfandel served with a spicy barbecue, or it may be chosen to create an opposite or offsetting effect. Equilibrium is a perfect (offsetting) accompaniment to spicy foods.
