...a sensational blend of 73% Roussanne and 27% Viognier brought up all in new oak. Awesome notes of caramelized lemon zest, white flowers, crème brûlée, and subtle oak all emerge from this concentrated, beautifully balanced, full-bodied white. It’s up with the best examples of Roussanne out there.
...blend of 73% Roussanne and 27% Viognier from Cumulus and White Hawk, is off the charts gorgeous. Rich, luscious and deep, but not at all heavy, the 2017 is a pure and total pleasure to taste. Apricot, lemon confit, white flowers, almonds, sage, chamomile... ...creamy, viscous white of stunning beauty... ...just one barrel of this stunning elixir...
The nose gives up compelling notions of lightly browned toast, pear drops and waxed lemons with hints of shaved almonds, beeswax and baker’s yeast. Medium to full-bodied, elegantly fruited and very refreshing, with plenty of nuts and minerals, it has a very long, savory finish. 25 cases were made.
