This is a blend of 53% Roussanne, 23% Viognier and 19% Chardonnay. At age 12, this took only a few minutes to open and then was drinking well. Deep golden in color, clear and bright. The nose has wax lemons, and some gunpowder. Full bodied. Showing just as slight touch of oxidation as older white Rhone varietals often do. The palate has lemons, pith and vanilla. Long finish. This is very tasty and quite complex. There is some serious weight to this wine. It drinks great on its own but will work even better with food. Its hard to put a drinking window on white Rhone varietals but this seems to be at peak. Drink over the next five to ten years.
