  June 1, 2018 - I purchased this wine in 2015 at the Winery and enjoyed it there. When we opened a bottle this week, it had gone bad - was cloudy and had a strong odor. We opened our second bottle and it was much the same. Both went down the drain.

  November 24, 2017 - Not much structure like CA versions of this variety sometimes show - made more in an easy-drinking style. As such, could've used a touch more acidity, but this was really a pleasure to drink and came across as varietally pure with just a touch of oak complementing it in a very nice way. Really enjoyed this.

  April 26, 2017 - Wow, this is just a straight-up delicious 100% Roussanne. Everything is integrated and in balance – the ripe stone fruit, the oak, the texture, the alcohol – so that it comes of lush, seamless and still fresh. A wonderful value at $25.

  December 26, 2016 - No formal tasting note, but masterfully done. Integrated, complex, and delicious.
  
  Big step up in quality from the '12.

  May 21, 2016 - Lovely rich fully mature Roussanne that still has complexity and enough freshness. Actually has some balance. Just a tad bit too much on the front end in terms of richness and just a little overdone on the back end in terms of bitter almond. Otherwise a great wine indeed!
