| Rated 95 - The 2005 The Petition (a blend of 37% Viognier, 33% Roussanne, and 30% Chardonnay. Litchi nut, buttered tropical fruits, flower, and subtle wood notes soar from the glass. Rich, dry, full-bodied flavors coat the palate, but supporting underlying acidity provides superb definition to the wine’s mass and intensity. This cuvee, along with its younger sibling, are among the most profound dry whites being made in California. - Robert Parker |
