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).

Never have experienced a wine like this. The color is dark gold (not clear at all). Honey, apple, melon, with a touch of butter. It has a hit of acid but finishes slightly bitter. Very interesting blend.

$14.99 @ Total Wine. Not my absolute favorite - probably sweeter than I bargained for.

Mineral and full bodied, flavorful, not heavy, just a hint of sweetness in the middle palate

As 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

Honey and green olive flavors predominate. But the wine is a little short on the palate. Great value though.

Nice wine for the money. Melon and citrus. Quite mineral with oily notes.

Light and airy. Old World style. Low acidity. Strong minerals. Low fruit. Great with cheese. Green apple.
