Not at all a flabby white Rhone blend. Marsanne dominates, and i think the roussanne adds just a hint of richness. This is literally all about minerals.

Have had four or five bottles of this wine over the last few vintages and this is easily the best. Lot of white fruit and mineral and in just about perfect balance. I am thinking this is the last vintage of this wine from Navarro. Wish I had bought more.

Very much a demure (almost austere) white rhone-style. Marsanne dominates. I would love to taste this wine again in 10 years. It feels like it has a very long life. Pear, chamomile, mineral.

Similar to our note last year in March, but even more enjoyable -- it seems more integrated and evolved.

Nice example of how a CA wine can have a flavor profile like a Rhone white. Good acid and intriguing fruit, good QPR.
