Had for our 5th Anniversary in Asheville, NC. Color tending to peach. We liked it, but weren't ecstatic about it. Lush mouthfeel, good acidity, and got us loose. I guessed the Roussanne, don't even know what Grenache Blanc is! Different, yet wouldn't search this out. Wife said 85 (her typical point or two lower than me.)

If this isn’t at peak, then I cannot imagine what it would be like or how it could improve any at all. Mineral and fruit on the attack, yeast and bread on the finish. A stellar wine! Highly Recommended.

Go figure found a white rhone blend in Little Rock, AR. This Grenache blanc and roussanne blend is very well done. Pale yellow color. Peach, stone fruit, wonderful acidity, balance, mouthfeel. A keeper. Would write more but busy enjoying!

A deep, but youthful yellow gold that invites the eye. But the wine does not wait as it attacks all of the senses it can reach. Its perfume fills the immediate area with white flowers, toasted nuts, lemon zest, orange rind and lanolin. Each element ks pure and clean, seamlessly moving from one to the other and finally ending on a trailing, long, long finish. A blend of 60% Grenache Blanc and 40% Rousanne, this may well rival an old vine Beaucastel Blanc as one of the best rhone style blancs I have ever had. This is an astoundingly good wine. 14.5% alc. With baked salmon dressed with lemon and herbs, country ham (pork) with cranberry-bourbon sauce, Coleman mustard sauce, scalloped potatoes and biscuits (regular and sweet potato). Christmas wines. Highly Recommended.

Popped at 63 degrees. Light honey in color, Apple and melon aromas. Apples, honey, citrus flavors. Citrus is not overdone. Refreshing. Having this with tomato and mozzerella salad.

Crips flavours of white peach, pineapple, spice, and honeysuckle. Reserved, but quite refreshing. Not showing as rich and full as previous bottles. Slightly lean, I would like a little more weight. Drink now. 88 pts.

Fantastic blend of 60% grenache blanc and 40% rousanne, that displays amazing depth and complexity. Showing notes of apricot, pear, mineral, orange blossom and a touch of baking spice. Wine has a great natural acidity, supported by a plush body and smooth mouth feel. Finishes with medium- long finish that keeps you coming back for more.

A deliecious wine. Previous descriptions aptly reveal its profile. With Rodney Young following the corked bottle. With peanut soup.

Just like the last one. Incredibly good. DDB comments that Bob would like this wine. With (fish) hake and fennel cream sauce. Highly Recommended.
