The spicy smoke of the Viognier pulls through front and center with the crisp Chardonnay and full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon. Muscat adds very little fruit complexity.

The Engelmann Summer Quartet is a great daily-drinker for the hot summer months. The nose is instantly reminiscent of river rocks, salt and orange zest, aromas that remind me of camping. The mid-palette disappears a bit, but the finish is a tropical fruit delight. Pineapples and pears and nectarines dance on the finish with a little pucker to make me remember them. A great value.

This unusual blend starts off beautifully in the nose. It's full of limestone style minerals and orange flower water, which I find delightful. When it hits your palate it's almost too soft. Not as bright as I was hoping, with a front and mid-palate that were not at all overpowering. It does finish with a hint of what it offers up front, a nice blood orange tartness.
