| - 2004 Peay Vineyards Roussanne/Marsanne Estate - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (3/23/2006)
WIML90,PURPLE89,NOWA,NOWS
Tasted March 23, 2006 at home. Purchased direct from the winery for $34.00 per 750ml. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Weiss Wein glass. Light yellow color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of citrus, pear, lemon oil and honeysuckle. Flavors of peach, honey, pear with a touch of creaminess on the finish. Good balance overall. Value is agreeable. Should drink well for 3 years fairly easily. Looking forward to the rest. (90 pts.)

We brined a chicken and baked it. It was "acceptable". Not an outstanding match, acceptable. I wish we'd gotten some raw oysters or prepared some shellfish instead. I think that would have been the ticket.. | |

Better yet, just delete the entire title. I want this tasting note to be read! | | | |

This bottle was better than a previous bottle - a little more of everything including minerality. Tasty. Matched well with food - a light pasta alfredo. (91 pts.) | | | |

| Thanks for the update. I've been letting mine rest because I tend to like roussanne and/or marsanne wines with a bit of age on them.

| Not bad. Only two attempts!!!
WineTex - what would you estimate is the lifespan of this wine? I'm still holding a few. I seem to remember that this particular blend can improve with age | | | |

| | I don't know about its lifespan. It will probably keep but I don't see any reason to hold it as I like this blend young and fresh. Strictly a preference. | | | |
