40% Roussanne, 40% Marsanne, 20% Viognier, all from the Alder Springs Vineyard, 240 cases.
Color: pale yellow with reasonably good viscosity. Pleasant, if restrained nose of white flowers, fresh linen, golden raisins and a bit of glue (Marsanne?). Lively, acidic palate that struck me as nice but a little quiet and foursquare. Didn't hit me as decidedly Rhone, just okay generic white wine that would probably go well with seafood due to the acidity. Expected more and definitely a little disappointed, even for the reasonable price . . . overcropped?
