Method: pop and pour; 55 degrees; white wine glass Look: youthful medium straw Nose: peach, papaya, slight lemon grass and lime; very expressive Palate: ripe yellow peach, lemon grass, sea shell; long finish pepper, mineral; dry; full body; medium+ acidity Overall thoughts: Really expressive, powerful, but balanced wine. Great wine.

Deep yellow. Lemon peel, grapefruit, hint of honey. Medium body. Touch of sweetness on the finish. Drinking well, but definitely isn’t over the hill. Enjoy now or hold a little longer.

The roussanne and viognier come together like a high end CdP Blanc. Round, floral and a touch of minerality deliver a wonderful medium weight white. This wine at age seven is hitting its full stride. Good juice.

Lemon notes complimented by beeswax, spring flowers, stone fruit and a light touch of baked bread. A wonderful expression of roussanne with a touch of viognier. The creamy touch adds a nice layer of complexity. Good juice.

Beeswax, honey pair are complimented by floral notes from the viognier. Light on its feet but full of character. The roussanne and viognier play off of each other nicely here. Good juice.

Light in colour. Very much a southern Rhône style with 80% Roussane. Bit of dry tart lemon on the finish. Great compliment to say it’s very much like a Beaucastel Blanc but a touch less rounded elements. Opens up with more power and length This is excellent and very much a Rhône style and maybe should score higher Bit tight early and will take a few more years in bottle with no issues. Very impressive.

Light gold color. Opulent nose of pears, peaches with a slight mineral element. On the palate, full body with good acidity and a great balance . Long finish. Definitely made in a French style. Delicious.

Showed beautifully. Fruit filled nose followed by a wounderful mouthfeel. Harmonious overall with fresh acidity. Great with turkey and stuffing. Tasted against Domaine Jamet Rhône Blanc (which was lovely) and was better overall.
