Tablas Creek Vineyard

Paso Robles Roussanne 2019

Ripe pear and some nutty notes starting to emerge, quite rich, young and viscous, I remember liking this so much at a Tablas Creek wine pickup party that I bought 6 extra, still quite youthful and should improve further with a 3-5 more years in the cellar. — 5 months ago

L'Avion Santa Ynez Valley Roussanne 2020

This wine has a rich, golden color. The nose offers a bounty of nice things. Lemons, apricots, almonds and vanilla, all wrapped up in buttery goodness. The palate is earthy, nutty and fruity all at once. The acidity is fresh and the finish long, with a good streak of salinity staying after the sip. — 6 months ago

Post Flirtation White Marsanne blend 2022

From Cambridge Wines Cyber Monday. Smells like feet lol, taste-wise I’m getting grapefruit, maybe some vanilla, sour apple 🤔 UPDATE: ok, this has really opened up and the 👣 has subsided. Still grapefruit but also chamomile. Lovely ❤️ — 5 months ago

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave

Hermitage White Rhone Blend 2020

Tightly wound nose, lots of beeswax, white florals and some stone fruit, rounded by oak. Palate in unfortunately alcohol-first (I guessed 14.5 but it’s 15!) but layers of texture. Good bit hot, more pedigree than magic — 6 months ago

Saxum Vineyards

James Berry Vineyard Red Rhône Blend 2010

2010 vintage. Thinned out somewhat, body-wise, yet still packing a punch. Lots of complexities still in the tasting grasp. 9.20.23. — 8 months ago

Ballard Canyon Roussanne 2017

Pours like deep yellow extra virgin olive oil, smells like teriyaki glazed grilled pineapple and lemon sesame pound cake, butterscotch crystals, and coconut shavings.

Thick vein of acid keeps this freshy fresh (not at all sloppy).

Great QPR, and something different.

"Les Oliviers" Saint-Joseph Marsanne-Roussanne Blend 2016

Stunning. Marzipan, smoke, cheese rind, lemon, almond. Very clean and chiseled but with ample roundness on the finish. Should continue to evolve for some time — 6 months ago

Vieilles Vignes St. Joseph Marsanne Roussanne Blend 2015

Wow. This has aged beautifully.

Nose : apricot skin.

Palate : apricots. A hint of unctuous ness. Really delicious. Nectar. Kiss of honey.
