Ripe, open-textured and distinctive for its spicy, floral aromas and flavors, which fill the mouth as the wine lingers generously. Drink now. 4 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Victoria Select to Add

Just about the best white wine out of Australia this year, this Roussanne isn’t a fleshy wine, but it has beauty, power and structure in its corner. Full-bodied with powdery tannins, it has flavors of honeydew, peach fuzz and mineral, and an herbal-peppery finish that lingers on the tongue. Nose is a tantalizing mix of marzipan, jasmine and clover. Just excellent.——W.E.(6/1/2003)—— 93
