Should have held this bottle a couple more years. This is a white that gets better with age. Love the Viognier juice but not a fan of the Rousanne in general but this combo goes well. I think I have always consumed these too early and will try to hold on to my 08s a little longer.
Light golden straw color. Nose of honey comb, grapefruit and vanilla lime. Fruit is bright and forward with honey grapefruit, apricot & jasmine tea. Clean and clear river rock minerality and a nice long finish. Well balanced and nice acidity. can't wait to try again later.

Golden straw color. Wonderful nose. Grapefruit & citrus notes in a long and lingering finish.
