Winery Review: 
Marsanne, Viognier & Roussanne.  Aromas suggest wildflower honey and acacia blossom with hints of tangerine and papaya.  Flavors are creamy with peach, apple, and quince sensations competing for your taste buds.  The finish is crisp with classic white Rhone stone (peach) fruit pit flavors intermingled with mineral tones from this rocky site.  Enjoyable young, the wine also gains great complexity with bottle age.

My Review: This wine was fantastic!  Extremely smooth wine with the aromas of lavender and apples present.  The taste evoked thoughts of pineapples, peaches, and tangerines.  The smooth, crisp finish lasted for a long time.  Great wine!

I tasted this on its own with no food.
