  Drunk over three days
  
  Nice balance, the acidity keeping the ripeness neatly controlled.
  
  On the austere end of Wa roussanne's, which is, admittedly, not very austere, with touches of complexity that will probably develop for another year or so

  Was a gift from a friend. It’s a nice wine. Clean floral and lemon. Great mouth feel almost has an effervescence.

  No formal notes, but a nice Washington rendition of roussanne. Banana, pineapple and green apple. Vanilla. Straw and a dose of butter. Medium plus body, big viscosity. Drawback is low acidity, which allows the wine to get a bit flabby and exposes a lack of spine. This is good now but I'd drink up soon.

  Great opportunity to try some wines from Lauren Ashton Cellars prior to release. First up is the Roussanne which comes from the Dineen Family Vineyard in the Columbia Valley. Clear and bright pale yellow. A little tight to start off with on the nose, some light hints of something cheesy and smokey. Opened up in the glass with some pears, citrus and white floral aromas. Savory start on the palate with lots of wet stones in the finish. After a few hours it became even smoother with some citrus and stone fruits. Moderate acidity (6/10) and full bodied. Beautifully complex bottling with a long and lingering finish. Great Roussanne, terrific value and definitely recommended. Drink till 2023.

  Lightly straw colored. 13.5% ABV. Refreshing nose of lemon oil, honey and flowers. Light and delicate with medium acidity. Pears, lemon zest, green apple and spice on the palate. The finish is long and spicy. Delicious wine that will show it's best paired with fish, chicken or pork off the grill. Drink over the next year or so. $25 at the winery and retail.
