Custard with minerals. Incredible with Comte.

One of the first wines I fell in love with. A little bit more oak than I remember, but it's still so sexy

About as lean as you can get with 100% Roussanne, minerally and more-ish. Yum, especially with hard cheese and house made salumi.

Love that white Rhone is under appreciated. More for me.

As an infrequent Marsanne drinker, I have no basis to critiquing this one. Very fatty and waxy, melon, wet stones, wildflowers; there’s a lot going on. It seems a bit unfocused. But for $30 this is killer juice.

Aperitif splash in the room as we prep for our night out. Great way to warm up the palate in anticipation of dinner. Bright & rich with hints of tropical fruits like kiwi and hibiscus flowers.

Great middle ground white for both of us. Recommended at vin 25. Apricot finish.

A bit higher ABV than desired. Despite its booze, delishly round, aromatic, n pairable.
