nice rhone blend, beautiful nose, pear, melon, papaya. palate was well balanced with nice acidity but not too sour. nice sweet notes of tropical fruits and hints of flowers on the nose again. slight bitterness in the finish keeps it from breaking 90.

Very ripe yet balanced by subtle acidity. Flowers and melon, very complex. Had with Salmon sauteed in olive oil and garlic, cous-cous and a goat cheese salad. Wine held up easily to the big food flavors. Each bite of food brought out different facets of the wine. A real beauty.

Floral and citrus aromas and palate with white blossoms added in for additional interest. This wine leaves a fresh, sweet impression in the mouth.

Elegant, tropical, floral, with a long finish that turns to the herbal tea side.

Medium lemon in colour. Good legs. Subtle nose - no pronounced aromas. Some citrus. Quite full bodied. Medium acidity. Some butter on the finish.
