The Wines of Russell Bevan (Domaine Wine Storage - Chicago, IL): I would have had no chance guessing this wine blind. It does not smell like chardonnay...but is a dead ringer for viogner, marsanne, roussane. Lots of ginger, melons, white florals and sappy fruit on the nose. The palate seemed to correct its course and the subtle butter, lemon, mineral and flinty notes emerged. Josh Peeples mentioned how radical a wine it was, and I would have to agree. Almost seems like the name "Scholium" should be on the label.
