18 months since the last bottle and still holding up very well. Bold yellow (with lime highlights), wax, honey and gasoline. Nutty with plenty of acidity still. Now or hold. Good QPR at $15.

Delicious. Proof of the value of screw caps in preserving freshness. Fresh, clean and integrated. Pale lemon in the glass, bottle opens with a release of CO2, nose opens with blossom and citrus, palate is dry, fruit leads with Meyer lemon, lime, green melon, honeydew, herbaceous, bright acidity, medium + body, long and lingering finish.

55% Grenache Blanc, 45% Roussanne; 14.4% Etoh. Closeout buy for $13 at NH State stores.
Color/App: pours significantly paler than the '19 Tablas Creek Esprit Blanc next to it; medium- viscosity. Aggressive bouquet of oak, fresh-mowed grass, lemon, honeydew melon and diesel fuel. Somewhat bitter palate showing oak, stone fruit, peach, apple and oak. Not enough fruit and too much wood. Can't recommend this, even at $13.

Pale golden yellow, clear rim. Honeydew and cantaloup melon, apricot stones, waxy and a little nutty, some riesling petrol notes. Smooth, tropical notes and honey, melon rinds, good acidity still, dried grass and hazelnuts on the finish. Very good Rhone blend, drinking well now but has life left, great QPR at $15.

Pale yellow. Light easy refreshing lemon flavors. Seems almost off dry with enough acidity to keep it fresh. Perfect light easy refreshing bistro wine bordering on porch pounder

Opens a little flat but with strong acidity, however develops robust citrus flavours of grapefruit and lemons as it warms slightly. Great Sauvignon Blanc equivalent, definitely not a heavy, hedonistic Rhône.

Sadly. Dominated by wood, hardly any fruit left. Dumped it.
Might be good QPR for others, but not to my taste.
