Top Notes For
Straw motherfuckin yellow. Big yet crisp. So goddamn tasty on its own. Not all flabby or alcoholy or perfume genius. Just honest, cool wine under $30 purchased at the shittiest liquor store I've ever seen. 96 points for sourcing. Miami.

Grapefruit, salinity, straw, some honey & nuts (almond skins) in the far background, med + acid. The fruit is perfectly ripe, leaner body than expected, acid driven. I love Roussanne, and was expecting a more rich experience.

This wine shows a lot subtlety and balance. With five years of age it has more marzipan and mineral notes.
