Insider trading says this will be the white wine value of the year when it is all over with. Fresh as a mountain stream and floral as the mountainside, both in spring. Made from 50% Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Clairette, the stone fruits pulse ripely and roundly with peach and apricot and nectarine qualities. The lusciousness of those fruits propped up by the retention of acidity by little or no malolactic fermantation and no oak as well. This wwouldd be perfect with river fish or white flaky fish prepared simply. It is tender, fresh, dry and vivacious. 92 Points, Bob Sprentall, B-21 Proprietor
