2014 Roussanne from a Texas winery, winemaker Benedicte Rhyne from Aix-en-Provence. Not current vintage, although current vintage is sold out too!This one sells out fast, and no question why. Acid up front is more attenuated, peach and kiwi have started to replace lemongrass and honeydew noted a year ago. This is the first Texas white I have been confident to age a year or longer. Based on this expression today, I have a feeling this one has a lot more ahead, quite easily! Nice finish with sharper acidity. Cheers! — 9 years ago

100% Tannat and 100 yr old vines. What else is there to say. Beautiful wine. Soft perfume floral nose reminiscent of a young Oregon Pinot but drinks like a huge confident cab! Would pair great with a simple steak, potatoes and asparagus! — 10 years ago

This is a declarative statement of a wine- not aggressive, but confident. Hints of walnut shell, fruity, with a softly pithy finish. Gorgeousness. — 10 years ago

Lactic. Young. Reduced? Not confident enough to use that word. Has potential. Nose developed over an hour. Norwich — 11 years ago

9.3

Chocolatey ripe red fruit—cassis, wild strawberry, notes of thyme and garrigue. Soft round tannins and enough acid to keep it balanced. Big-boned and self- confident, this is another easy-drinking hedonistic fruit-forward wine from Eric Solomon, @Philippe Cambie and Gilles Ferran. Sunny and friendly, it feels like the South of France in a glass... 15% alcohol (though drinks like 13%) Pricier than I'd like for an everyday wine, but at $28 a nice treat! More please... — 11 years ago

At first very delicate, almost like a rose petal fading away; at second, it gained some weight and grip; but at the finish, one of the most composed and confident NSG in my recent memory. Thanks #eliewineco — 10 years ago

Great purity, just a bit taut right now. Should resolve nicely. There are some deep, leafy, earthy aromatics. Oak is judged well. This has nice freshness to it. Definitely on the rustic side. Jenna thinks it's "dirty and dusty like licking the floor of a primitive structure." It is very hot to her as well, both nasally and to drink. The wine Polaner calls blood orange on this bottling and Camus' other VV Savigny bottling. He is completely right we both agree. 85 year old vines. A solid value for the cellar. Jenna says the quality of this is like unfiltered Honest Tea to clean and bright Steaz. This is a touch more muddled at the moment with a bit of bitterness but I am confident this will clarify and integrate nicely with time. Old school for purists. Jenna says it's "minty and herbal, fennel or anise." Definitely anise/fennel. Some balsamicky older barrel aromas and also nuttier newer oak aromas, too. Good balance. This really does have some soil aromas to it. A touch hot (alcohol) right but I imagine it will cool down with some time in bottle. — 12 years ago
