Medium straw to yellow jasmine. Ripe, intense aromas of peach blossom, spiced pear, greengage, top red apple, and white pepper. Quite a bright focussed note, there are subtle elements of clementine, chamomile tea and some mineral/wet river stones. A soft, supple entry, the wine is broad with a rich, oily texture balanced with minerals. Flavours include moth balls at first and then candied fruits, like cherry heart sweets, violet and plenty of ripe red apples with a touch of clarified butter and Williams pear. Threading through is a lively acidity and a soapy element, along with old ladies' perfume or musk sweets. There is generous alcohol suggesting a warmer year, along with a hot cayenne pepper note. This wine has a youthful edge that is medium in length and finishes with some mineral and Asian pear. No fat on it.

Light gold. Fresh sweet gardenias and white peaches on nose w flavors echoing on nicely rich alcoholic palate delivering said qualities in top form. Bravo

Honeysuckle, almost banana-like nose, great mouthfeel—like heavy silk—yet enough vivacity to keep things in balance. Yum.

Why isn’t there more Northern Rhone white? When it is as well made as this, with white fruit, honey, viscosity and structure, this is a treat!

Northern Rhone whites are among my favorite wines, and this is no exception. Slightly viscous, with melon and honeyed notes, and a lovely finish.
