219 cases produced. Light yellow, excellent clarity. Aromas of pineapple and guava. Lemon, pomelo pulp and tropical fruit flavors. Dry, almost syrupy mouthfeel, crisp lemon peel finish. Not quite as elegant as the 2016, but a lot to like here. Turning into one of my two favorite white varietals for wine as I drink more examples of these from Isenhower and, occasionally, others in the Pacific Northwest. More Roussanne please. — 8 months ago

Dense, inky purple, highly extracted pigment. Black currant and butter aromas with a hint of spearmint. Blackberry and spearmint flavors, some cherry and violet-floral on finish. Smooth mouthfeel, chalky tannins on initial pour. Moderate skin astringency, some lingering seed bitterness alongside those lingering fruit flavors. Restrained acidity but nicely balanced between varietal flavor profile and tannic structure. Mild barrel character emerges after two hours — a year ago

Revisiting vintage, paired well with a hazy, smoky sunset. More color in the sky than the glass or bottle, though... — 9 months ago
