This wine has a nose full of lemons, limes and that good Paso Robles minerality. There is a nutty angle that plays in, too, but not as strongly as I anticipated given the presence of Roussanne. The palate is tasty and ripe, with citrus taking the lead ahead of those minerals. It’s a great white wine for winter, with a touch of warming oak. Pair it with root vegetable dishes or any kind of fish.

This is absolutely lovely. Orchard fruit, pineapple, melon and powerful honeysuckle aromas. Ripe, dense and layered fruit throughout that is buoyed by excellent mineral tension and freshness. Very expressive and balanced.

I just keep coming back for more. Great melons. Well structured. Hints of vanilla.

Full-bodied white Rhône blend. Aromas of Meyer lemon, apricot, beeswax, chamomile and brioche. Medium acidity and pretty long lingering orangey taste.
