Powedered wet cement on the nose. Almost no fruit at first. Palate has rich tropical fruit with balancing acidity. Minerally. Shortish finish. Lemon zest. Day 3 - all weirdness on the nose blew off. Sulphury with honey. Still lots of honeyed tropical fruit and apples on the palate. Acidity keeps it in balance. Great pairing with pesto.

Champagne in colour this wine expresses itself with its individuality. Tropical fruit nose, with banana and grapefruit- all quite ripe. All this is compounded in the palate with a wonderful zeal and freshness. A good medium/long finish and decent midpalate. This makes a good food partner and is worth looking into.

better than their marsanne. dave cooked truffled rice with this-yum! and greeted me and the aunts with a glass at the begining of the kebab cookout. i liked the balance and the chard shows well, giving a base to the high toned viognier.

Mandarin orange and pink grapefruit. Some vanilla/oak. Tropical fruits. Very balanced in the mouth. I love the tart acidity.

Dosen't seem to be performing as well as about a year ago. This wine seems to have a better balance when the "freshness" is still there.
Still a good wine, but I do plan on consuming my last 2 bottles sooner rather than later. I belive it's starting to become discombobulated as it ages.
