Unique nose, fruity and salty body. Super yum.
Blend of vermentino (body), marsanne (salt), muscat (nose).

Better than the 20 for my palate, with a bit of freshness, but still not my cuppa — a month ago
Something different and unexpected - equal parts Marsanne and Roussanne, with 28% Viognier. Lightly colored cream shaded pearls with delicate oak laced aromas and a surprisingly full body.
More floral than fruity - Peach, lychee, and white flowers. A restrained elegance that doesn't quite equal up to the sum of its parts. — a month ago
This is eminently drinkable. Medium bodied, citrus, melon. — 6 days ago
My last of three bottles. The first one back in early 2021 and second one last year both showed a more fresh and vibrant profile, whereas this seemed a bit more evolved.
Gold in the glass. Right off the bat, the aromatics here are honeyed and semi-rich. Honeysuckle, but mostly Truffle honeycomb and those Bit-O-Honey candies come to mind. Didn’t detect any orange marmalade type profile I normally get with roussanne. On the palate, the honeyed notes continue with only real faint fruit notes (peach, dragonfruit). Quiet zing of acidity to keep the wine from being flabby, but it has a distinct texture.
Followed over two days and held strong. I’d rather drink these sooner rather than later, at least this vintage. — a month ago
