A stunning white that shows precision and richness, the 2011 Clos Solène Roussanne Essence de Roussanne is 100% Roussanne, half from Booker Vineyard, and half from James Berry Vineyard. Showing liquid pear, golden fruits, lemon rind, honey, and green almonds on the nose, the wine is medium+ bodied with beautiful acidity that’s buffered by ripe, rich fruit, notable balance, and a clean, focused, and mineral-laced finish. Impressive both for its richness and vibrant acidity, this should drink well for a decade or longer.
