Absolutely good with ample richness. Clean. No silly willy stuff with this particular wine and vintage after two days. So good — 6 days ago

[75% Roussanne, 18% Grenache Blanc, 7% Picpoul] Waxy, oily, viscous, floral aromas on this predominantly Roussanne blend, very tart acid balance (likely from the Picpoul), crisp, some fatness, comes across as very young and in need of further aging, lovely Central Coast Rhône blend!! — a month ago

Opened about 30 minutes prior to dinner but no decant. Served slightly chilled. The 2016 “Blanche” pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. Developing with notes of ripe stone fruit, tropical fruit, nutmeg, white pepper, minerals and cotton candy. On the palate, the wine is dry with lower acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+. This is a wine of impeccable texture to match the king crab legs with dinner. Drink now through 2031. — 3 months ago
