Writer's Block Roussanne 2017

A biscuit and almond aroma gives way to tangy but ripe lemon and apricot flavors that are subtle and satisfying. This medium-bodied oak-aged wine is on the austere side, but in a good way, as it compels continued sipping to get to the bottom of its complexity.

This Roussanne shows varietal aromas and flavors of apricots, pear, some mint and green tea-leaf. Notes of herbal tea, honey and pear with hints of honeysuckle and vanilla are the aromas and flavors you find in this Roussanne. Typical of white varietals from the Rhone Valley, this wine has a viscous texture to its mouth feel. To balance this wine, we keep as much of the natural acidity of the wine alive by arresting its malolactic fermentation.

Pairs well with shellfish such as, oysters, crab, and lobster; roast chicken or duck; Indian chicken curry and with a vast array of different soft and hard cheeses.
