"Almond blossom, ripe nectarine, apricot, and honeycomb are apparent upon first sniff, balanced by a citrus-like freshness and mineral elements. A bright entry then builds power with ripe, honeyed stone fruit, melon, and mint. The wine manages to share elements of powerful fruit and an inherent structure of what I call white wine tannins. Framed with a flinty aspect and a miniscule marriage of sweet oak, this Roussanne carries great weight, finesse, and an alluringly long finish."
