2016 Pierres Seches St. Joseph Blanc Saint Epine

 100% Roussanne 

I usually prefer Marsanne, but this actually worked out pretty good. I like it better than the 2016 rouge version of this wine, which I thought was a tad oaky. 

Nice florals leapt out right away, but the palate took time to open up ... like it needs a couple of hours of air to show well now.

Paired well with a squid ink bucatini seafood dish (clams, squid and sausage (not chorizo)... very Spanish style dish. Also flounder filet over slow cooked grits.. killer flavors...
