White Rhône is not our favorite. This is good but a bit soapy.

Subtle, slippery, decent all around. Great story (bottle sales help support new colony collapse research)

Clairette/Roussanne blend. Pretty floral aromas, drinks grassy, lemony.

80% Clairette Blanc and 20% Roussanne. Bold gold color. Aromas of white peach, white flowers and toasted hazelnuts. Pallet is loaded with stone fruit with hints of pear, citrus and those hazelnuts. Wine was a bit oxidized (Sherry-like) but in pleasant way. Bit of a chalky texture. Complex and crisp. Solid food wine.

Loads of citrus: lemon oil, grapefruit pith & touch of white pepper on the nose. Palate is the same, not super complex but solid hot weather sipper.

Amazing value. Nice and round and juicy but with just enough complexity and freshness to keep you wanting more.
