Very nice Idaho wine. Just a hint of dryness and butter. Had with a light fish and paired very well.

Wine from Idaho - my first, and wow! Its no surprise if you know me, its a Rhone - 50% viognier, 50% roussanne.I drink a lot of Rhone blends, and find as many good, as bad. This one is great,and for ~20 retail - a winner.The stone fruit and acidity of the roussanne is blended perfectly with the classic floral aspects,weight, and mouthfeel of the viognier.Apricot, citrus and honey on the nose.Wet stone, stone fruit, slight minerality in the mouth, great mid palette and a killer finish. This is a wine that drinks well now; but like many rhone white blends, actually ages well too.Bought this at local Portland retail, but its worth ordering.
