Red crimson color with a soft orange edge.
Bright, rich fruit envelops the palate like silk.
Plummy, figgy, cherries flourish through a long finish with low, building acid.
There's a familiar flavor after the finish that I can't place but it pushes the acid. — 3 months ago

On the richer side but with terrific acidity on the finish. Very good. — 3 months ago
A lot going on. Red fruit and tannic. Mineral. Maybe it’s just me, but Napa and Sonoma vintage 18 wines (a great vintage) are throwing lots of tannins, across the board. A great wine that needs 4-6yr to resolve itself. — 6 months ago

I have often struggled to appreciate Roussanne as it often lacks the acidity that I prefer in white wines. That being said, I always keep an open mind and experiences like this are the reason why. As a pairing, this was absolutely perfect with our seafood boil. Richly floral with stone fruits and nuts. A wine of texture with an undeniable oily-ness about it. The finish lasted 15-20 seconds; just long enough for the next bite of crab, lobster or shrimp. Repeat. This was markedly better than the first bottle we had a couple years back and I have to believe a little cellar time and the right food made the difference. — 5 years ago
