Tonight we decided to open a bottle of something very familiar, the\u00a0\u00a0Junius Lindsay Roussanne from Junius Lindsay Vineyard<\/a>. \u00a0Roussanne is typically found in many French white blends, especially those produced in the\u00a0Rh\u00f4ne style. \u00a0As a straight varietal wine it makes for a unique wine, making it a refreshing option from the run of the mill white wines. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

We did run into an oh-so-familiar problem of which glass does this wine go best in. We first poured the wine into the un-oaked Chardonnay \/ Viognier glass. \u00a0The wine tasted just fine, however the nose was quite muted. \u00a0After a few sips, we thought that it might be better suited in the oaked Chardonnay glasses. \u00a0The nose immediately jumped out as being more fragrant and distinguished. \u00a0There are hints of pear and apple blossom, with a very subtle trace of\u00a0lemon balm.<\/p>\n

The flavors from glass to glass were notably different as well. \u00a0In the un-oaked glass, the bright acidity came through initially with great prominence. \u00a0In the oaked glass, the flavors were more true to the grape. \u00a0The initial flavor was still slightly acidic, but it also showed a bit of apple and pear. \u00a0The mid-palate is long and lingering with notes of banana and tropical fruits. \u00a0It develops into a creamy and slightly buttery finale that slowly turns to a woody finish.<\/p>\n

Now, we’ve mentioned before that we might be considered glass snobs. \u00a0We enjoy having wine in a glass that will best highlight the characteristics of the wine. \u00a0If you don’t have a cupboard full of wine glasses, that’s ok. \u00a0Simply pour this wine into any wine glass and it’ll be just as good from one glass to another. \u00a0We do recommend that you allow enough time for the wine to breathe appropriately. \u00a0We will decant any wine, red or white, if it’s less than 5 years old. \u00a0If you don’t have a decanter, you can simply uncork the bottle and leave it open for an hour. \u00a0This will allow some oxygen to enter the wine and really bring out the best qualities of the wine. \u00a0Any way you pour it, the Junius Lindsay Roussanne will taste good out of any glass that you have.<\/p>\n
