RMV. Very nice wine with good weight. This one has a nice nose of youthful lemon and pear, and starts off the same way with very good acidity. The wine get much more dense in the middle with crescendo to a full bodied supple finish that had some pineapple crush, ripe pear, and spice. The wine is really equally good served chilled or unchilled. The first glass was a bit cold, where the last glass was probably a little too warm, and both of them were equally enjoyable. This wine was enjoyed with Mexican food, but it was also very enjoyable (and probably moreso) by itself. The wine starts off showing the Roussanne/Marsanne and finishes with classic, well-done Viognier! I'm rather certain this wine will hold 3-5 years without a single shred of doubt! Definitely one of the better production wines by Calais.

One of the best Texas whites I've ever had. These Rhone varietals do really well here. Glad to see more and more Texas winemakers working with these three grapes.
