Polished, complex nose; aromas of orange pith, key lime pie, white peach, stone fruits, nut, spice, apricot danish with clotted cream.

Dense, deep and rich as velvet this mesmerizing nectar features gobs of vibrant red fruit including raspberry and fresh strawberry plus a seductive dark caramel oak finish WOW. The new Segue Pinot is so voluptuous it reminds us of our favorite recent samplings of much higher priced collector Pinots (e.g. Kosta Browne).

Classic aromatics of cassis, blueberry, cedar, tobacco and tapanade. The palate is textured and savory, with the ripe fruit profile wrapped around Cabernet complexities of cedar, tobacco, and bakers chocolate. Very fleshy. Integrated tannins then frame the fruit in a long, persistent finish.

Y Rousseau Chardonnay Mount Veeder 2008 – 94 Points
Posted by thewineinsiders in Wine Reviews on Jul 28th, 2011 | 0 comments
Distinctly intense and hedonistic aromas of lychee nut and citrus with a pronounced background of mineral, white peach and toasted hazelnut. Rich and complex on the palate. Good natural balanced acidity and notes of exotic fruits and brioche. This opulent Chardonnay is elegant and food-friendly; enjoyable now and will continue to develop its character for at least a decade.
