Crystal yellow with medium viscosity in glass. Citrus, pear and apple crisp on the nose. Citrus, apple and melon on the palate. Nice, tart spritz mid-palate along with secondary lychee. Soft, medium finish. Good Summer drinker.

Popped and poured; big apple juice notes that mellowed after a bit of air and evolved hints of lemon, lime pith, and baked pear. The texture is smooth, but the varietals do not show their character as I had hoped (lacking the rich, waxy, sharp, round Roussane and Viogner parts). Lacking minerality and a bit candied, like the bitter parts of a lemon drop.

62% Roussanne, 24% Viognier, 7% Marsanne and 7% Grenache Blanc. Bright almost fluorescent golden yellow hue. Rich apple, pear and limefruit with some minerality. Full bodied. Being picky, I personally would have liked to see a touch more acidity. Rich finish with nice fruit. 13.5% alcohol.
