Product Description
Hedonist Gazette Aug 2012 - Even better is the 2005 The Petition, one of the most compelling dry white wines ever made in California. As I recall, this cuv�e is virtually all Roussanne. It smells like a sweet Sauternes, but tastes totally dry. The color is a medium gold, and the wine offers up aromas of cr�me br�l�e, caramelized nuts and tangerine/orange marmalade. It hits the palate with a full-bodied intensity, extraordinary acidity and precision, and a remarkably dry, long finish. This sensational wine is still relatively young and pure. Given the fact that it is largely Roussanne, I would be foolish to try and guess where it is going from here, but at age seven, there is no danger of it falling apart.
