Review date: February 14, 2012

Wine Review: This yellow colored Roussanne opens with a honeyed pear bouquet. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, round and slightly sweet. The flavor profile is an apricot and ripe pear with notes of gentle oak. The finish is semi-dry and its flavors are nicely prolonged. This wine would pair well with five fruit chicken. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: The medium straw colour suggests a full-bodied wine. The aromatics are spicy and savory with hints of ripe yellow nectarines. The palate is a lush, rich, medley of tropical fruits. The wine is fresh, vibrant and unlike anything you've ever tasted.

Organic status: not organic
