Purchased at Ranch Acres, Tulsa, had with mussels from Bodeans, the wine seemed a bit thin and short of varietal flavors. Have enjoyed Broc’s reds, but there was little to associate with a well made white from the Rhône.

A disappointment, at least from the bottle I had. More dark than it should have been for its youth. Slightly oxidized flavors in the nose and taste, and a cardboardy cling in the finish. The question is: Did the oxidation come from the winemaking or from poor shipping and storage conditions? The Broc website indicates they shy away from using sulfur during the winemaking process — a noble endeavor but fraught with problems, especially when using grapes from a warm climate such as Madera, California. Being a fan of Rhône white wines, I had hoped for more.

Pretty tasty and honest, but nothing to write home about.
