Yes, an aged Loire Romaratin. 12 years aged & intriguing: Dainty and fino like on back end, moderate acid & more floral than fruit. For 20$ a worthwhile adventure…

Exotic fruits, flowers and honey entwining a beam of acidity. A dead ringer for a Loire Chenin blanc.

Super interesting. Chenin meets Chardonnay. Slightly oxidative.

One of the better Cour-Cheverny wines I've tasted: a statement that says everything but also nothing. Less unpleasantly oxidative than Daridan, more interesting than de Montcy and Cazin and at much frendlier price than Henri Marionnet. For the money I think this is the best that's out there-- Golden apple skin, celery, tarragon.

Romarantin from Cour-Cheverny at Star in Glen Ellen with Adam. Poised, restrained, full but clean and minerally.

Hard to pin down what I think right away. That's usually a good sign.

Lemony and sour in a good way. Great acidity. Super interesting.

A good entry into a varietal with very limited exposure outside of its home in Cour-Cherverny in the Loire. Nice nose, blossoms...intriguingly floral but fairly neutral palate.
