September 16, 2023 - Waters is usually outstanding; this was undrinkable. Tasted like it had soap in it.

Epic Tale Likes this wine: 88 points
May 7, 2022 - color: medium straw; nose: lemon curd, perfume; taste: generous medium-bodied mouth feel, tastes more of minerality than of fruit, moderate acidity lends structure, medium-length finish; overall: enjoyable body and taste, drinking well as of Spring 2022 (and should remain so for a couple more years).

October 6, 2020 - A very nice wine with a creamy mouth feel and a little tang on the back end. A little plum and pear on the pallet.

August 6, 2020 - This was originally opened in a small group outdoor setting. We were transitioning dishes and moving on to a richer style white and this was my first choice. Coming from a very nice mid-weight Chablis this didn't sit right and we didn't have time to give it a chance to convert us, so we moved on to another wine I had.
Then this was consumed over a few nights spaced over the better part of a week and it drank beautifully each night. I may have liked best the last night! I scanned other recent TNs and they capture it well, but I did not get much tropical nor vanilla. Just a very well balanced Rhone, not flabby, nice Roussanne texture and pretty aromatics from the Viognier. Could have used a bit more spice and depth, but still a very nice wine.
Nice sub-$20 QPR on this one.1 person found this helpful Comment
