Tasting Notes

WS91

Extremely viscous, rich, ripe and unctuous, with intriguing fig, honeyed fruitcake, dried citrus peel and marmalade flavors that glide on the palate with enough acidity to keep this lush and not cloying.

WA98

The 2006 To the Rescue Roussanne Vin de Paille has 290 grams of residual sugar per liter. Despite its aging in 100% new oak, there is not a hint of wood to be found in the aromas or flavors. This remarkable sweet white exhibits abundant aromas of orange marmalade, rose petals, honeysuckle, brown sugar, and spice. It looks like 10W40 motor oil, but its ample acidity provides uplift and vibrancy to its enormously endowed, sweet personality. Who knows how long it will last, but it definitely has 15-20 years of longevity, and it may surprise us all by living for 40-50 years.
