  Nothing wrong with this wine except that the varietals should provide more complexity. Do not serve below cellar temperature.

  Tasty, balanced. Pleasant white Rhone tropical nose, not overpowering. Mid-weight, fresh. Good price, too.

  Light golden yellow in color. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of grapefruit, lemons/limes & stone fruits with overtones of floral notes of honeysuckle, minerals, wet stones & a hint of honey. Medium-light bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, lush, ripe fruit flavors of grapefruit, lemons/limes & stone fruits with honey & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present but may develop further with additional aging. A blend of 54% Grenache Blanc, 21% Viognier, 14% Marsanne, 8% Roussanne & 3% Vermentino.

  Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 5 *shared* reds] from 08/10/18 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 54% Grenache Blanc / 21% Viognier / 14% Marsanne 8% Roussanne / 3% Vermentino (aka Rolle) from the Los Olivos District; "Each component was fermented separately in neutral French oak barriques & puncheons, then aged on fine lees for 8 mos. A small portion of the wine was allowed to go through malolactic fermentation to increase mouthfeel." 13.1% ABV, 3.31 pH, & 6.7 g/L T.A.; 1,433 cases produced.
  
  N: Grass with notes of toast? Minerals as well
  
  P: MF body; RNDISH entry with NICE frt met by tart acidity which defines the wine into & through the LONG, tangy/sweet finish with glimpses of honey. Still coming together? Could well improve through '18, then drink nicely through '20, poss longer. My VG+/EXC-, arguably the higher given the QPR of this vendor's $16.95, for which I could only find the winery's $21 with which to compare.
