INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR –FEB/JAN 09 – JOSH REYNOLDS

90; 40% clairette, 30% grenache blanc and 15% each of roussanne and bourboulenc. Pale yellow. Sexy aromas of pear, melon, brown spices and honeysuckle, plus a hint of toasty lees. Fleshy orchard and citrus flavors stain the palate and are braced by tangy minerals. Really clings on the finish, with the leesy quality strongly repeating. This is powerful enough to serve with richly sauced poultry dishes.
