Great fruit, with some nice earthy notes — 5 years ago
Red crimson color with a soft orange edge.
Bright, rich fruit envelops the palate like silk.
Plummy, figgy, cherries flourish through a long finish with low, building acid.
There's a familiar flavor after the finish that I can't place but it pushes the acid. — 4 months ago
On the richer side but with terrific acidity on the finish. Very good. — 4 months ago

I have often struggled to appreciate Roussanne as it often lacks the acidity that I prefer in white wines. That being said, I always keep an open mind and experiences like this are the reason why. As a pairing, this was absolutely perfect with our seafood boil. Richly floral with stone fruits and nuts. A wine of texture with an undeniable oily-ness about it. The finish lasted 15-20 seconds; just long enough for the next bite of crab, lobster or shrimp. Repeat. This was markedly better than the first bottle we had a couple years back and I have to believe a little cellar time and the right food made the difference. — 5 years ago

Beautiful nose of Kirsch; loaded with sweet, dark fruit — cherry herring stands out — and minerality with mild acidity. Not as deep and complex as some vintages, lacking the garrigue and pepper elements. Still, a very good Syrah. — 19 days ago
