Despite the minority share of Roussanne, the grape shows itself dominantly in the dark golden hue of the blend.  On the nose, the Roussanne’s deep concentration continues its march of honey suckle and golden pineapple.   The Chardonnay comes through with an appealing, joyful brightness on the palate.   The two marry into yellow mango flesh.  Coating gourmet smoothie texture already envelopes any note of oak toast.  Pear and apple through to kumquat on the finish.
