Tried this last night:
1. DomaineCombier Crozes-Hermitage Blanc (13%; MeBaD) 2005: Light gold color; rather fragrant/floral honeysuckle/carnation/Roussanne slight appley some earthy/minerally complex nose; tart rather steely/minerally/earthy somewhat perfumed/floral/honeysuckle light oak rather rich/lush bit spicy/nutmeg flavor; med.long stony/minerally rich/lush/tart floral/honeysuckle finish; will do well for 2-5 yrs; speaks a lot of Roussanne w/ some Marsanne perhaps; a lovely example of C-H Blanc at a more than fair price. $27.00

Tom,
Took me a while to figure out what you were talking about. I like a wine from Domaine Colombier Crozes-Hermitage Blanc that is a Kysella import and 100%Marsanne. Went looking for this wine this weekend as marsanne is IMO a good and interesting grape, just possibly hard to match with food. A Marsanne/Rousanne blend is probably more practicle so I will look for the one you reviewed.

The wine is NOT Dom. Columbier, but is a Domaine Laurent Combier C-H Blanc. It is a CharlesNeal Import.
It's a bit confusing, I know.
