👌🏻

Deep minerality that carries into the finish. Strong notes of stone fruits and citrus. Subtler notes of fresh-cut grass and honey. Bright acidity but not overpowering, which also gives way to a medium body and a lengthy finish. A bit austere compared to other Viogniers I've had, but unsure if that's the style, the Rousanne, or the vintner.

Delicious! Not too sweet.

93% Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre. Decanted for 2hrs. Dark fruits, (cherries, blackberry/blueberries hints of raspberries), followed by dominant minerality and acidity yet well integrated. Peppercorn, pepper, and hints of cloves to finish it off! It’s quite a powerful and brash Syrah.

Golden hue. Nose offers cantaloupe, melon, star fruit, peach, pear, pineapple, honeysuckle, white flowers, and delicate, dusty limestone notes. Moderate acidity on the palate. Palate largely consistent with the nose. 69% Roussanne, 20% Viognier, 11% Grenache blanc. Vintage 2014. ABV 13.5%.

Excellent wine!

Don’t drink it too cold! Needs right temp for Roussane to shine.

This is a good Chardonnay 2014 lot of butter but not overwhelming
