Feb 2nd, 2019Online review says it well - below. First 100% roussanne from CA I've had. Very good.
"the toasted oak is still present but nicely bonded to the lime blossom, white stone fruit, and brûlée flavors. The Chardonnay gives lift and zest to the ripe Roussanne."

This is a VERY smooth, creamy, vanilla apricot wine that has the perfect amount of oak ones for me. It is my first venture with Roussanne and I really enjoyed this both alone and with food.

Jul 14th, 2016Tropical fruits on the nose carry into the unctuous palate; papaya, mango, coconut, banana, vanilla bean. Loads of oak. Finishes with some flint and minerals to balance things out.
