Mix of grenache blanc, roussanne, voignier, & clairette. I don't taste much of the voignier & not sure what clairette is but def taste the mix of the 1st two. Slightly acidic, just a touch bitter but wet (not a dry white). Would drink again and purchase if trying to please both the Sav Blanc & Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay crowd (it's a decent balance between those 2 ends of the spectrum).

Jul 16th, 2019$14.99 @ Total Wine. Not my absolute favorite - probably sweeter than I bargained for.

Jun 23rd, 2016As a man who loves Viognier this wine has the distinctive honey flavored you get from the northern Rhone. As a Côte de Rhone this wine has the flavor without the price. It jus taste like a poor year. The flavored are diffuse. 50% Grenache blanc, 20% Rousainne, 20% Viognier, and 10% Clairette

Jun 3rd, 2016Honey and green olive flavors predominate. But the wine is a little short on the palate. Great value though.
