While I must disclose I very much like older French whites or other quality whites with lots of age. I drank this bottle in late 2020 and it left me wanting more of this wine, much more. Delicious and full like a Châteauneuf blanc that is 10 yrs old.

Nose: Honey, pear, yellow peach, tangerine, hint of exotic spice. Very aromatic. Liked the nose.
Palette: Noticed a good amount of sweetness of the bat, but it was balanced with a nice acidity. Tangerine, vanilla swirl, loquat(random, but I had a tree in Berkeley, took awhile to identify what it was, but this wine reminded me a bit). Good thick body, silky on the tongue.
Overall, a very delicious wine. I truly enjoyed it. For the price (under $30 and still available if you look hard), it is a solid value in my opinion. Quite recommended.

Borrowed from Wine Enthusiast and I agree with this wholeheartedly: "Rich, almost unctuous, with a lush, lanolin mouthfeel, this is a passionfruit creamsicle of a wine. The fruit is a seductive and generous mix of peach, Asian pear and tropical; the alcohol a full-bodied 14.5%."

Creamy with nice flavors of pear on the pallet with citrus aftertaste. A hint of tannins provide for a nice finish. Venturied and decanted it is a very nice bottle.

(Tranche Cellars Slice of Pape Blanc Columbia Valley) Pale lemon yellow. An aromatic wine redolent with spice, floral notes, nectarines, and pear. Full bodied with a textured, glycerol feel with lingering fruit flavors. Just the slightest touch of sweetness on the palate leads to a dry, crisp finish. An absolutely beautiful wine. Roussanne, Viognier. Aged 8 months in French oak (40% new). 14.5% alcohol. 282 cases produced.
