Ohhhhh blendy blend. I mean this is mostly Viognier but that saucy Roussanne kicks in with its sense of at least a modicum of balance that is well-employed. Down with this Viognier-strong blend. It says: random herbs, sprinkles of cinnamon bark shards and canned tangerine all...in a gelatine mold? I’m not sure (having not eaten gelatin since before vegetarian days) but something sorta unctuous but fresh, ripe but..also new. I’ll just chill here happily with the bottle. But I should probably go to bed.

Green tinged medium lemon Yellow. Appealing nose of chalky peach, tangerine and lemon. Medium acitity developing some bitterness on the finish that limits the food pairings. Good with sushi, smoked salmon, grilled chicken - anything with a slightly saline note.

This was delish! Used in a carbonara dish and drank the rest pretty quickly thereafter. Butter with a bite. Nice bright citric profile with just the right amount of tart. Bought at Perrine’s.
