Alban Roussanne Edna Valley 2004 (Estate)

Light, unfiltered, yellow.

Citrus and white peach, smoke and popcorn - all low-key, quite subtle.

Quite concentrated and intense in the mouth, but has great acid/phenolic chew that keeps flavors fresh and delineated.
This reminds me very much of a killer Burgundian-styled Chardonnay from the Sonoma Coast. Minerally and even has a petrol nuance in the finish. I've often found Alban whites to be too much, but this is an entirely different animal.

Truffle/sulfide action too.




$35? Can't remember
