Community Tasting Note

  May 3, 2019 - Not my favorite Rhône white. For the money I'd expect something like a white crozes but it's much more basic than that. Not sure what it's made from but strikes me as probavly having a lot of grenache blanc which I'm nit generally a fan of and that could explain my take on it.
