This is Rubicon’s Rhone blend of Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier. It’s an interesting wine, very rich in apricot, mango, pineapple, peach and honeysuckle flavors, but very dry. Feels a bit heavy, though, and will likely fade out fast. Drink now.——S.H.(5/1/2010)—— 87

The ’05, as befits a cool vintage, is lean, with the alcohol showing through bare-bones citrus flavors. Even those who like their whites dry and flinty may find this Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier blend a little thin.——S.H.(12/1/2007)—— 86
