Dec 19th, 2015Touch fruiter than a typical Rhone. But still pleasant and drinkable. Entry level northern Rhone wine

Jan 17th, 2015Last of 6 purchased, I think...my cellar's a mess so maybe I tucked another away.
Solid performer and consistent throughout. Very nice weight, w/o the alcohol being obnoxious. Exotic enough on the palate so as to not be reminiscent of standard varietals or similar blends. I should think a Semillion lover will find attraction here.
