  This is a nice white Rhône blend from Washington State.
  
  Showing green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, light earth and white pepper.
  
  Medium bodied with medium plus acidity. Dry and tangy.
  
  Showing a very interesting nose with mint and wild flowers. Loved it.
  
  This 4 year old is drinking very nicely now, with a touch of bitter almonds on the finish.
  
  Still very fresh tasting, with nice complexity.
  
  A blend of 32% Viognier, 19% Grenache Blanc, 15% Roussanne, 15% Marsanne, 15% Picpoul Blanc and 4% Clairette Blanche.
  
  13.7% alcohol by volume.
  
  89 points.
  
  $25.

  Pale lemon in color.
  
  Very aromatic nose of pears, peaches, white flowers, spices, apricots, yellow apples, light earth, white pepper and herbs.
  
  Light to medium in body with medium plus acidity. Crisp and refreshing.
  
  Dry on the palate with grapefruits, limes, lemons, green apples, bitter herbs, earth, vegetables, wet leaves and white pepper.
  
  Nice spicy finish with white pepper.
  
  This is a nice and interesting Rhône blend from Walla Walla Valley in Washington State.
  
  Spicy with nice complexity and a tangy finish. The nose is fruit forward, yet the palate is much earthier, which is always interesting.
  
  This Single Vineyard is tangy and refreshing. I loved smelling on it for a while. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
  
  Good by itself as a sipping wine and good with food. Would pair nicely with oysters. I had it by the pool and paired it with Brie cheese.
