100% Roussanne
2018 Roussanne James Berry Vineyard is golden straw in color boasting intoxicating aromatics of grilled white nectarine, flint, fresh bread and white flowers. The palate walks a perfect line between power and grace. Stone fruits are complicated with honeysuckle, thyme, and lemon zest finishing with a nervy intensity that has you salivating for that next glass. Stock up on this one as it will be tough to keep your hands off of and will cellar for a decade or more. Drink 2020-2035
"Translucent yellow. Penetrating aromas of fresh orchard and pit fruits are accompanied by hints of chalky minerals, tarragon and pungent flowers. Juicy and concentrated in style, offering Meyer lemon, pear nectar, white peach and honeysuckle flavors that show fine definition and energetic lift on the back half. The floral note repeats strongly on the finely etched finish, which hangs on with impressive, mineral-tinged persistence." 94 pts - Vinous Media
