Another excellent Rhone whit from Larry! Perfectly rich texture and great acidity. As Larry suggests, this really shines warmer than fridge temperature.

Great and interesting texture and palate. Nose is saline, round and spicy. Palate continues it but it moves into a smooth creamy oak. Multiple mouthfeels. Super good

This wine really took us by surprise. It's an unassuming twist-off start, a pale pour. On the nose, things start to get a lot more interesting: stone, peaches, mild pineapple, and minerals lead the way, with a note of matchstick flint. On the palate, this is a rich vibrancy here with big helpings of fruit, stone, and minerals. Each component is distinct, but melded together with great balance. At 13.7% ABV, there's nothing thin about this wine. It's a significant white wine, with many elements of expensive big-label Chardonnay, but in a unique Grenache blanc. My wife loved this too. Plenty of time here.

Not decanted, consumed over ~2 hours. Full-bodied with firm acidity, tart citrus and slightly tropical/melony notes. Stood up well to roast chicken with garlicky brussels sprouts. A nice bottle.

Didn't get much of a taste of this (brought to a party). Seemed to be received well except for one chap who tried it and said that he hates Chardonnay (he didn't see the bottle).

Stone fruit on the palate. Nice golden color. Drinking really well right now.

Good body. Notes of peach and pear. Even went well with bacon and eggs, so quite versatile.

So good. Honey, stone fruit, high acid. Well made and still very youthful.

The crisp green flavors, straw, and citrus in this wine pair great with lemon piccata chicken, and rice w/ pine nuts and lemon.
