Compared to a lot of Roussanne offerings on the Texas wine Trail, this one is Roussanne Elite. To get more specific, compared to the Kuhlman Roussanne, this one is enjoyable but not there as the "go-to." Now the 2012 Newsom Merlot...OK, back on track with this Roussanne. The wine starts off with a very nice lemon and citrus front. Acidity is sharp, although not as sharp as the Chenin they also offer. The awesome part about this wine is what is does in the middle and finish, where it thickens up, has a great number of serendipitous notes from citrus to melon to floral all kind of pop in and tickle your tongue. Finish is quite velvety, yet still maintains a subdued acidity. Really nice, and probably top 10 white wine from the Tx Wine Trail.
