Arrowood Saralee's Vineyard Côte de Lune Blanc 2005
The 2005 Côte de Lune Blanc, our sixth vintage of this wine, is an absolute stunner. The growing season produced grapes with intense color, honeyed aromas and fruit flavors that are beautifully showcased in the wine. The nose is particularly complex, with mouth-watering aromas of fresh pineapple and hints of butterscotch, coconut and jasmine in the background. On the palate, the weighty flavors carry through from the nose, ending with a rich, butterscotch finish. Wine Advocate A wine that seems to get better with each vintage is the Cote de Lune Blanc Saralee’s Vineyard. An excellent value, the 2005, a blend of Roussanne, Marsanne, and Viognier, reminds me of some of the finest white wine blends from California’s Central Coast. Aromas of minerals, exotic fruits (mangoes), honeysuckle, flowers, and litchi nuts as well as good underlying acidity are found in this medium-bodied, deliciously fruity white. Again, even though it was barrel fermented, the wood is only a subtle component. Score: 90. —Robert Parker, December 2006.
