Retail $45. Ridiculously Responsible bottle (470g; 1lb 0.5oz). Under DIAM5. 100% Roussanne. Another stellar wine from one of my favorite producers; Troon seems to do everything right in regards to preserving the planet while making stellar wines. Add this to the list. While I view Roussanne as a bifurcating wine (you either love it or hate it), I feel this iteration can appeal to both sides. Straw to yellow in the glass with fantastic fruit aromas of lemon rind, guava, and mango. Add in a bit of honeysuckle and spice and we are getting there. The palate is round, full, robust, all while being tart and angular. Tons of contrast, oodles of tropical fruit, and loads of great vibes. Excellent. 91 Points.
