Novelty Hill
Stillwater Creek Vineyard Roussanne
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Pale yellow in color, excellent clarity. Floral, dried fruit and citrus notes in nose. Soft mouthfeel. Lemon, melon, tropical fruit and dried apricot flavors in mouth. Slight to moderate skin astringency on finish. Dry to semidry, a tad tart. Cries out for food. Personally a little chill is nice on it. Good value

Value Roussanne is not a major category in the U.S.A., but this one qualifies. Not a world beater, but at around $15 I'd give it another whirl. Needed some air to get going. Better at warmer temp and food is this wine's friend.

Aromas of orange blossom, citrus with spice. However, there's a bit of a bitter finish.

Nov 2nd, 2013Deliciously balanced and refreshing. Lots of fruit on the palate, but peaches dominate. It has the mouthful of a chardonnay or viognier.

Not bad for Washington. Branching out to other varietals is great. Let's see more of these . Let it warm up to really get the full flavor

Some butter, balanced. Good drinkable white. Slight citrus, a medium between a chard and sauv. Would drink again definitely.
