This aged Napa Valley Rhone is no lightweight quaffer. I agree with those who said this is a wine to be paired with food. Its complexity and weight came through nicely when paired with a homemade Salad Nicoise made with fresh grilled Ahi and few anchovies added for additional umami.

Straw colored, full bodied Stone fruit, honey, slate, gooseberry Big and Bold. Very fruity. Tastes much like the nose. High alcohol. Waxy. Much better as a food pairing wine.
Smoked a Tatuaje Unico

A nose of citrus fruits and spice, medium yellow in color. A medium to full bodied Rhone white, with pineapple, apple, hazelnut and spice on finish, good acidity. www.winelx.com

Even better than a prior bottle of three months ago, and again better upon warming slightly from cellar temperature. On the nose, peach, pineapple, and papaya, with a creamy, yeasty note. On the palate, lemon/lime and papaya with notes of creme brulee and nutmeg. Great.
