Gold to apricot colour. Definitely sweet side but fir acidity. Lots of ripe peach & apricot. Honey for sure, what else could there be here? Good length, good wine.

Holy woot! This is good sweet dessert wine. Grape rot is definitely not necessarily a bad thing. If you haven't had a botrysized grape wine, get one of these, and have it at Randall's restaurant next to his Bonny Doon tasting room, with a brûlée banana dessert. Holy sweetness and grapes!! :-)

Really enjoyed this Roussanne with its botrytised fruit. Not as sweet as most US dessert wines, this had a definite Sauternes-like aroma and flavor profile, with more richness. Deep gold in color with a satiny, slightly viscous texture. Aromas and flavors combined honey, quince, and candied lemon notes. Nice acidity. Well made and worth the money.

I usually like this style of wine but this was just too acidic.
