Brian Carter Cellars 2023 Oriana

Published: May 27, 2025

This Yakima Valley white wine blend includes 56% Viognier, 36% Roussanne and 8% Riesling will make you feel like you're sitting poolside on a summer day. It presents lovely fruity and floral aromas of nectarine, melon, Honeysuckle and notes of spice and sweet cream. On the palate, it alludes to tropical fruit that is quickly met by a gravelly minerality and notes of melon rind that grow on the mid-palate before a finish hinting at earthy-floral daffodil.
