| Community Tasting Notes (average 90 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by jhngo on 6/7/2022 & rated 85 points: kinda heavy oaky wine. lacks freshness or spice (514 views) | | | Tasted by alanr on 6/12/2019 & rated 89 points: Moderate depth of fruit, quite mineral, seems to show some wood notes? maybe lees? Today this bottle is not giving up a lot. (1497 views) | | | Tasted by acyso on 3/25/2018 & rated 85 points: Cassoulet at Bill's (Wilmette, IL): As far as northern Rhones go, this too was alright. This was dominated by a green apple note (sans the acidity), almost to the point of being overwhelming. The acidity is there but it's relatively low. This just doesn't have enough cut. There's a nice bunch of florals here as well, but for me, it's the bitterness on the backend and the lack of acidity that really kills it for me.

(2492 views) | | | Tasted by drdan8 on 1/16/2016 & rated 91 points: PNP at an upscale Chinese - Szechuan BYOB. Nose was a tad muted because the wine was poured too cold. When it warmed in the glass it gave off scents of white flowers, jasmine, and white pepper. Unctuous on the palate with flavors of ginger, grapefruit pith, and strong white pepper. Only slightly oily as Viogner can be sometimes. Paired well with a simple lunch of scallion pancake and shrimp with Thai chile and celery. Not quite up to the richness and class of a Vernay, but solid nonetheless. (2345 views) | | | Tasted by rc@ughey on 6/17/2015 & rated 92 points: Really tasty and distinct. Has the opulent texture and fruit -- a nice mixture of stone and citrus fruit -- of good Condrieu, with surprising acidity that makes this much more lively than some examples. Balanced and complex. (2208 views) | | | Tasted by MarkinBaltimore on 2/1/2015 & rated 95 points: Pale, straw yellow. Bouquet features notes of peach, orange, and cream. The palate is round and full, mouth filling, delicious. Not at all heavy. Rather light on its feet and at the same time it seems lush. The finish, which is perfectly poised, goes on and on and on.

Regional History:
Phocaean Greeks established viticulture in the Rhone as far back as 600 BC, but until the 14th century the wines were not seen outside the region. The establishment of the Avignonese Papacy (1305-1377) brought fame to the region's wine-so much so that their Burgundian neighbors to the north banned wines from the Rhone in 1446, a measure that effectively cut off trade with England and other Northern European markets for over 200 years. Stretching southward from Lyon to just south of Avignon, the Rhone produces a wide variety of wines, with the appellations north of Valence producing the least (in volume), and the towns south of Montelimar producing prodigious amounts. As in other regions, the most interesting wines come from small farms. Saint-Joseph, in the northern Rhone, extends for some distance between Condrieu in the north to Saint-Peray in the south. The reds are made from Syrah and the rare whites from Marsanne and Roussanne, and Viognier.
