WTN: Stottle ZaraLina White Rhone Blend '15...(short/boring)

by TomHill » Mon Apr 01, 2019 10:19 am

I liked the Stottle Viog that I tried last week, so thought I'd give the White Rhone blend a shot:
1. StottleWnry ZaraLina WW YakimaVlly (14.4%; 59% Viog/41% Rouss; www.StottleWinery.com; Elerding & Marcela vnyds; RS: 0.75%) Lacey 2015: Light gold color; strong fragrant floral/Viog/pear/peach light honeysuckle/Rouss slight earthy bit toasty/oak quite attractive nose; lightly tart fairly rich/honeyed some floral/pear/peach/Viog some Rouss/honeysuckle light earthy some pencilly/oak/buttery quite attractive flavor; very long/lingering some peach/pear/floral rather rich/lush strong Rouss/honeyed/honeysuckle light pencilly/oak/buttery bit soft finish; quite an attractive White Rhone blend w/ lots of richness & texture. $19.50 (KK)

A wee BP:
1. When I first poured this wine, it resembled the Viog wquite a bit. As the wine warmed in the glass, the Rouss really came to the forefront and it became really rich & textured. Think I liked the Viog slightly better.
