Gold and heavy in the glass. Nose of cashews, citrus blossom, melon, olive oil, pear and sage. Full body with melon, pear, lemon oil, butter, tropical fruit, wet flinty minerals, nuts and zest on the palate. Bold and concentrated with the Viognier dominating. Alcohol has integrated somewhat. Medium finish.

PnP. Golden hue. Honey and trop fruit on the nose. Restrained alcohol. Delicious and very drinkable. Full, round mouthfeel. Mid to full weight on the palate. Touch of salinity on the palate. Very good.

Part of R&RR April 27-28 2013 A blend of 43% Viognier, 23% Roussanne, 22% Marssanne, 12% Grenache Blanc and only 290 cases made. With 14.9% alc., this one might sneak up on the lightweights by the end of the evening. It definitely shows potential as a tool for snagging rac’n babes in the infield. Ok, so Florida Jim declares the alcohol gets in the way. Perhaps it does. Yet it’s palatable with citrus, orange, honeysuckle, lychee and white pepper. It’s more than palatable. No, it’s not a Tensley Camp 4, but it’s a solid Rhone Ranger Blanc.

Consistent with previous notes by others. Great by itself on a summer evening...
