notes of honeysuckle and butter, a bit too much oak for me but not too overbearing, I think the oak will help maintain the wines structure as it ages

Honey and butter framed by toasty oak. Really nice.

2007 vintage. Opened around 50 degrees. Decanted and kept in the 58-62 degree range with the decanter placed atop an (mostly) ice bath. Tasted after 25 minutes and 4.5 hours. Heavy body. Just enough acidity to slowly propel this effort along all palate phases. Total showstopper. Overlook/dismiss/avoid the SQN whites at your own peril. 2.15.24.

I normally enjoy a N Rhône white blend but the finish here just seemed awkward.  viognier’s influence perhaps that is throwing me.

Still full of life and lots of legs. A beautiful expression of 71% Roussanne and 21% Viognier .

UNREAL white wine. Flavors just keep evolving on the palate
