A little bit of Alban BB, but mostly clone 1 planted in 1999...

@Bradley Brown - thanks the clarification. The bottle was excellent, mind if I ask which coopers you worked with?

Sine Qua Non

The Hussy Roussanne 2000

Opened a couple 2000's tonite. SQN & Alban. The Hussy still compelling. Manfred's whites continue to age well. Nice bouquet of lemon blossom and nectarine. Love that Roussanne texture. — 12 years ago

Art Den Hoed Yakima Valley Viognier 2014

14' K Vintners Art Den Hoed Vioginer. Full of peach skins, pear, melon, stone. Unlike the Alban… It's lacking a little pepper/spices. Great value and a lot more approachable in it's youth. Would absolutely purchase it again. — 10 years ago

Condrieu Viognier 2011

Need to wait for it to cool down a bit to make proper comments...but it's going to be good...and I was right! White flowers and slate on the nose, with an explosion of peach, a touch of vanilla, and an interesting undercurrant of walnut. Beautiful mouthfeel, great balance, and a finish that just goes on and on. John Alban makes a great viognier...but a great Condrieu is another animal entirely. Awesome. — 11 years ago

Vineyard of Pasterick

Syrah 2007

QPR. Yes, find a true Cote Rotie in CA that matches this and then look at the sticker price. Love Alban but no comparison at this price point. Revisited in September. Iron, blood, black fruit. Young. Well balanced. Let sit. — 11 years ago

A 100pt Sqn I will never forget. Tasted 2013. So powerful and tasted next to a 2005 alban Lorraine. This needs so much more time but went great with lamb. A pleasure. — 12 years ago
