TASTING NOTE: The normal blend of Viognier, Roussanne, and Marsanne, the 2016 Cote du Rhone Blanc tastes like a mini-Condrieu with its white peach, apricot, spice and citrus aromas and flavors. This medium-bodied, elegant, yet textured beauty over-delivers and will keep for 2-3 years. Score - 90 (Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com, Jan. 24, 2018) |
