Texier and Hill at Red and White (Chicago, IL): The maturity here has softened some of the phenolic edges, and there's a straw/hay note on the nose that's actually quite interesting. In contrast to the big 2018, this is more shapely and shows some acidity on the palate, as well as fruit that doesn't feel as ripe. More to my taste, though not sure if that's the vintage or the age behind that.

Amber yellow color, has some fat on it, but the mid palate is nowhere to be found. Light finish if that makes any sense, excellent easy drinker with some hazelnuts and honeysuckle.

I love Roussanne, possibly my favourite white wine grape, but this is angular and jarring. Time may help but this is simply disappointing.
