Fresh tropical fruit, peach, pear, honeysuckle and fresh meadow (after a rain) aromas belt you in the nose. This wine has wonderful character – spicy, feisty, zesty and a palate you wish would never end. If you want to taste what a true viognier should taste like, buy this! 99 SOL ROUGE 2012 Gypsy Blanc Lake County $28 99 VIE 2011 Roussanne Lake County $29 98 ROBLAR 2013 Roussanne Sonoma County $30 Floral spices, tropical fruit, nectarine, apricot, grapefruit and pear aromas with a dusting of light white pepper spice. Made true to the varietal, this is a floral, fruit-driven wine that mimics viognier but stays distinctive in its slightly tight-ish body but long lingering stone fruit finish.
