Agate Ridge Vineyard
Roussanne
Rogue Valley, Southern Oregon, Oregon, USA
Perhaps due to poor storage, the nose is very subtle, but one can pick up hints of white stone fruit, melons, ripe mangoes, and fruit blossoms. The wine gushes onto the palate with lemon curds, brown pears and Delicious apples. A very creamy and unctuous body, perhaps to obvious malolactic fermentation and neutral oak. Finishes with minimal length of white peaches, honey, and wet stone. Better than expected, especially after tasting it last year.
