Apple, pithy lemon, honey, buttery oak and hints of stone fruit. Good acidity and balance.

Aromatic and bright on the nose with apricot, pineapple, dried chrysanthemum, fresh herbs, and touch of vanilla. Some dried fruits characters on the very supple almost oily yet lively palate. Candied long finish.
Can new world Roussane be better than this?!

Phenomenal. The only reason I don't give it a ten is because I haven't drink enough white wine to feel worthy of scoring a perfect 10

A nice offering of this Rhone grape. Really great nose of white flowers and stone fruit. The only negative is the oak undertones, a tad too much for what I like with this grape. However it is balance, my negative is just a personal preference

Loved this (my first taste of this grape!). Lots of full perfumy ripe yellow fruit for me and toasted almonds. Soft mouthfeel and balanced acidity.

Fantastic QPR. Floral and nectarine notes coat the tongue with lots of shaved pencil and grassy notes taking on secondary flavors. The finish is long with tangerine characteristics.

Man o man, I'm loving these southern French grapes. This CA take is great. Melon, some minerality, food friendly acidity...great in the mouth.

Did not know what to expect but was pleasantly surprised. A nice mouthful of fruit that's held in check by the acid.
