Shop Review: Marsanne, Viognier & Roussanne aromas suggest wildflower honey and acacia blossom with hints of tangerine and papaya. Flavors are creamy with peach, apple, and quince sensations competing for your taste buds. The finish is crisp with classic white Rhone stone (peach) fruit pit flavors intermingled with mineral tones from this rocky site. Enjoyable young, the wine also gains great complexity with bottle age.
My Review: To the inexperienced pallate (mine) this wine truly was an enigma. As a blend the Terre Rouge Enigma lead in with aromas of honey and flower blossoms with fruit following. For me It ended with a high mineral note.
