Jaune doré, Nez abricot, fruits exotiques, en bouche c'est très beurré, belle acidité avec une finale persistante, bien fait, un produit de qualité, à boire dans les 3 prochaines années.

Lemon peel, peach, apple and honeysuckle notes. Medium weight on the palate and nicely balanced featuring flavors of apple, pear nectar and honeysuckle.

Enjoyable but more mild than presented in the tasting room. Expected more flavors. Recommend a bit of decanting on this white to allow the flavors to open up.
Writing review a week after consumption, so notes are lost. Good wine, not what I remembered, but think that this needs to be given an opportunity to open up before drinking.

Tasting room pour. Lovely med/full bodied Rhone blend. Lovely peach, pear, and citrus notes with nice florals, a dusting of nutmeg, and a fat, rich personality. Great flavors but would like a bit more acidity. Not quite as intense, but reminds me quite a bit of Herman Story's Tomboy. Excellent wine. Not scored but I'd put this around 90

Rich, big white wine.
Sweet Rousanne dominates, with the Viognier rounding out the wine.

Exceptionally smooth, with wonderful hints of white grapefruit. Great with turkey meatloaf.

A nice mix of crisp, tropical and spicy. The viognier sticks out to me but the blend gives some balance.

Good crisp acidity of the rousanne with the roundness and richness of the viognier. Mineral finish, nice with a white fish or chicken.

Pre-Hospice du Rhone 2012; 4/25/2012-4/27/2012 (Paso Robles, CA): Brief note - On the rich side with creamy stone fruit on the nose and starting out the palate, then finishing with more of an orange flavor. Pretty good.
