Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 35% Roussanne, 30% Grenache Blanc, 20% Clairette and 15% Bourboulenc. Medium lemon color with aromas of tropical and citrus fruits with a bouquet of floral scents. On the palate flavors of cantaloupe and apricot with notes of honeysuckle and citrus rind. Lively acidity, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and mineral character. — 8 months ago

Next to the Claret blend from the same year this seemed slightly one dimensional but on its own terms the easygoing mature dark fruit and hint of leather and mocha was exceptional with an epic prime rib, still some good structure for a merlot this old — 7 years ago

Thank you for being present then, to be my present now. Great Job!

Amazing 14 year old GSM from California. Cherry notes are surprisingly fresh and vibrant, well balanced (acid/tannin) delicious dark notes in the background (leather, chocolate, tannin). Fruity without being sweet. “With 0.4% residual sugar — not so much to make it even remotely sweet or turn it into a stereotype of a California fruit bomb, but enough to render it tender” - Wicker Parker - 11.01.2010 http://www.renaissancewinery.com/scripts/winepg.cfm/_/8/2006/Mediterranean-Red/
