This delightful wine is a blend of 36% Roussanne, 35% Viognier, 20% Marsanne and 9% Grenache Blanc. After about a year in French oak, the result is well-balanced, minerally, viscous with a lengthy finish and notes of fig, pear and peach.——V.B.(11/1/2011)—— 89

The 2003 L’Ingenue, a Rhone Ranger blend of white grapes, offers hints of citrus, spring flowers, white currants, honeyed grapefruits, and white peaches. This tasty, full-bodied white cuts a broad, but light feel across the palate. Drink this fresh, luscious effort over the next 1-2 years, preferably with strongly flavored fowl and fish dishes. Tel.
