A distinctive wine. Soft, round and generous with its clove-scented pear and grapefruit flavors. A hint of almond sneaks in on the nicely persisting finish. Has a cult following in Australia. Drink now through 2008. 20 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Victoria Select to Add

A full-bodied, mouthfilling wine, Giaconda’s 2005 Aeolia Roussanne showcases aromas of toasted cashews, then balances them against bold peach and citrus fruit. The oak lends a slightly charred quality to the wine, which comes through on the finish as a hint of espresso. Drink now and over the next few years.——J.C.(10/1/2008)—— 90
