this blend of 71% roussanne, 21% grenache blanc and 8% picpoul blanc offers cut meyer lemon, tangerine and pink-grapefruit aromas on the nose, along with the promise of a creamy palate. instead, the palate is quite tight and restrained, starting tart but opening toward lemon rinds and pear flesh, and wiping up clean on the finish.
