Winery Review: Shiny gold the wine is lively and crisp, with medium-bodied notes of melon, citrus blossom and flowers. Perfectly balanced between richness, fruitiness and freshness.
Wine Folly: pg 160 "Roussanne" - This wine is from southern France, just as the book describes. I noted the lemon and tea notes of this wine that the book mentions most prominently. It is also blended with Grenache Blanc as the book suggests is common.
Personal Review: Quite dry with initial and lingering notes of citrus. A strong stone/mineral component as well. Fairly pure/watery tasting, however on the aftertaste there is an unpleasant chemical or alcohol burn type of flavor, which really ruins what could've been a pleasant aftertaste. 2.2/5
