This is a really cool expression of Roussanne, lively and charming. Nose is beautiful, white tea, quince, apricots, honey, lees and minerals. Palate is round, coating without being too waxy or viscous. Crisp acid balances the weight out, classic Roussanne phenolic grip coming out on the back end. Moves from apricot, citrus zest, lees to radish, white pepper, tea leave, almonds and pebbles.

Intriguing wine. Lovely lees texture and richness. Great value $25!

Not the very cheapest option, but drinks like a far more expensive bottle- really impressive!
