The palate shows a mix of marmalade, honeysuckle, and fresh, ripe peaches with hints of white flowers.

A true gem of a Rhône varietal white from Pass Robles. A great example of what can happen when you plant varietals that are suited to the region. Weighty and complex.

Noses like great white Burgundy. Great oak and spice notes, grassy floral spice. Drinks like classic Roussanne, waxy texture, salt water taffy, slightly bitter almond finish. Very interesting, great balance.

This is pretty and floral, with orange blossoms, jasmine, and a distinct pinene note. Very much a warm summer night floral bouquet. Texture is unctuousness but spice and acidity balance. Really nice, much better than my last bottle which was definitely off. Much better at room temperature than chilled.

Impromptu meet up at Classic!
Golden color in the glass. Skunky and sulfur notes on the nose, alongside salted popcorn kernels. Toasted lemon. Savory style aromatics. Viscous and round on the palate, with a lot of nutty characteristics. Ripened guava and banana peel finish. One of the better Rhône whites I’ve had. Thanks for sending @Paul Treadway Huntington Beacher Bum !

Love the blend, lots of Rousanne and Viogner. So floral. Honeysuckle and butterscotch. Great acidity to balance it and light body while packing gorgeous fruit.
