Really enjoy how this balances both a kind of lush creaminess but still holds great acidity

A blend of roussanne marsanne and Grenache blanc a pretty wine with quince tree fruit and pretty white flowers very smooth and creamy with a good amount of ripe fruit and a nice perfumed floral note through the finish. Finish 40+. Excellent

Smells like buttered toast! Butter and coconut, rice-pudding-y, horchata-y flavors.

A bit too bitter for my liking. Did not get any of the notes that I was reading about.
