Kuhlman Cellars
Estate Grown Texas Hill Country Roussanne
Texas Hill Country, Texas, USA
I agree with @Mark Flesher in how this will hold, and improve, for quite a while, which is so impressive for TX fruit! This wine is more savory and herbal than most other white wines. In fact, the aromatics here remind me of some blonde or wheat beers. Hay/grassy/wheaty note with herbs and crushed limestone. Acidic backbone. Grilled lemon, more crushed rock/mineral, and additional hay/straw. Another impressive TX wine from Kuhlman.

May 29th, 2019Allocation on this wine is rather low. Poured a little more pale straw colored than some other years of this wine. Nose is herbal, peach, lemon. Entry is Meyer Lemon, peach and honeysuckle. A little more rounded than I thought it would be with a little bit more tame acidity in the front. Goes a little more herbal on the finish. Lemon tart and more acidic on the finish. Great balance. These Kuhlman Roussannes have shown age-worthiness with the 2012 still going strong.
