Star bright pale yellow. Abundant nose of white flowers and white peach. Medium full palate yields peach, coconut, magnolia petal, and dark quince. Medium plus acidity through the lengthy, slightly dark finish. While this would make a good wine for a big-bodied summer sipper, it (naturally) shines brightest with food. The bright acidity combined with the Rhône-typical layers of flavor will compliment heartier spring and summer fare as well as medium to soft cheeses. Classic white Rhône experience. I don’t foresee any significant development, but it should satisfy well into 2026.

Bright yellow color. A little zip on the tongue up front, but finishes smooth and soft. Tastes of lemon and flint, but not tart and dry. Juicy melon. Luscious and rounded. .
Our first Rhone white and it's delicious. We're looking forward to tasting more.

Light honey-hued. Aromas and flavors of apple, apricot, cream, flint, grapefruit, hay, lemon zest, lime, minerals, orange blossom, pear, pineapple, and rose petal. Medium body and high acidity. Aromatic on the nose; smooth yet refreshing on the palate. A great summertime wine and an amazing alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.
