So yum…often times I want to like Rhone whites but they lack the brightness I’m always craving… not the case here this beauty is singing with flavors of apricot, chamomile and plenty of minerality!

I tell ya what, this is a lot more interesting than the Roussanne that we drank a couple weeks ago from Paso Robles. This has the acid that the Villa Creek lacked. There was a nice mix of slightly underripe pineapple, orange peel and honeysuckle. This probably needs a few years in the bottle to be honest. Still, pretty enjoyable and I’ll definitely keep this on my shortlist of northern Rhône whites to keep an eye out for.
