Roussanne (100%)
“Exhilarating nose of peaches and apple blossoms leads to a silky, elegant palate of orchard fruits, Italian parsley, and citrus pith. Full-bodied with balanced alcohol and acidity, finishes just shy of long.”

Grenache Blanc (40%)Roussanne (25%)Carignan Blanc (15%)Rolle (10%)Viognier (10%)
“Complex, elegant blend showcasing citrus and wild herb on the nose. Gentle scents of almond and white flower are also prevalent. Impressive structure accentuated with balance and finesse. More Grenache Blanc than in previous years gives this a fresher personality, but still a very food friendly, good value wine.”

Grenache Blanc (50%)Roussanne (50%)
“A polished and refined nose of honeysuckle, vanilla, baked pear, and warm brioche, lifted by some richer notes of melon and peach. The palate is rich but round and approachable. Gentle acidity backs up a moderate finish of citrus, toast and warm alcohol.”

Grenache Blanc (60%)Vermentino (20%)Roussanne (15%)Bourboulenc (5%)
“A subtle and graceful blend with clean aromas of green apple, citrus and faint apricot. This is a balanced, well made wine with soft, mineral influenced freshness. A sapid, versatile gastronomic style, and fine partner to langoustines.”

“Despite the northward nudge in alcohol, this red blend shows good balance, offering generous, open red and blue fruits and evolving tertiary flavors of leather and pepper spice. Full-bodied with a touch of cocoa bitters and campfire smoke on the finish, ready to drink now.”
