Pale, slightly lime-green color with great freshness in the honeyed nose—lilac, almond blossom and suggestions of lemon curd. Perhaps even a touch of fennel and spearmint, juxtaposed against a quince/Asian pear background. (These descriptors seem to be the calling cards of the Grenache Blanc/Roussanne admixture, at least from the Beeswax Vineyard.) The ’15 seems texturally a bit richer than the ’14—chalk this up perhaps to the malolactic fermentation; withal, there is an extraordinary length and depth to this wine. This vintage of Cigare Blanc, as with preceding vintages, will continue to improve over the next five years, perhaps much longer.
