Bruce brought this white to our tasting at Pig+Fig last night:
1. Rotie NorthernWhite WallaWallaVlly (12.1%; 60% Roussanne/40% Marsanne; www.RotieCellars.com) Papineau 2022: Med.gold color lovely Rouss/honeysuckle/honeyed rather floral/gardenias very perfumed slight oak bit mineral/chalky lovely nose; rather stony/mineral/chalky lightly floral/gardenias quite tart/tangy some R/honeysuckle rather mineral flavor; very long mineral/stony finish that mimics flavor; not breally big & lush like many white blends but more mineral/Rhonish in character; quite an attractive white Rhone blend.

More rotabiddle from TheBloodyPulpit:
1. I was expecting this wine to be really rich & lush like many of the Calif white Rhone blends but it showed a strong Rhonish minerality you typically get in Calif white blend. Some like the Tablas Esprit de Tablas Blanc but even more minerality.
