5/2/2017 - ParagonCD Likes this wine: 90 pointsEnjoyed this wine after modest decanting. Held up to time beautifully. It's structure was very much intact. I'm sure there was more time but I'm not qualified to say how long. It suggested several years. |

2014 E. Guigal Côtes du Rhône BlancWhite Rhone Blend more |
4/11/2017 - ParagonCD Likes this wine: 88 pointsI've been drinking lots of different white wine recently. I really appreciated the subtle flavors of this. No, it's not soaringlynacidic like Sauv. Blanc but it's got a little of everything and I appreciate the balance. It's curtails the abrasivness I've found in straight viogner. |

3/27/2016 - ParagonCD Likes this wine: NRThis was all I hoped. I can't claim a lot of aged wine experience but this has all the notes of complexity marrying fruit and structure. |
