What a complex and interesting blend of Roussanne and Viognier. Opens with a honeyed, marzipan and almond cookie bouquet, but turns surprisingly dry and acidically crisp in the mouth, with Meyer lemon, vanilla, gingerbread and Asian spice flavors. Really impressive for its power, depth and length.

This is a distinctive blend of Roussanne and Viognier. It’s impressively rich, offering up complex waves of kiwi, vanilla custard, white peach sorbet and white chocolate flavors. That makes it sound sweet, but it’s a dry wine. A little soft, but totally delicious.

With a majority of Grenache, this wine flatters with pure, sweet red and black cherry flavors. Syrah seems to bring color and depth, while Mourvèdre contributes a delicious chocolate note. The wine is fully dry, high in alcohol, soft in acidity and utterly delicious.

With a higher percentage of Syrah than Sticks and Stones, Linne’s Rising Tides is darker and deeper. It suggests black cherries veering into black currants, with a rich, dark chocolate note, and a finish of sweet, charry oak. Nonetheless it’s a dry wine, and a little soft.

Nemesis contains almost 90% Syrah, the highest percentage of Linne Calodo’s three current red releases. It’s a big, dark wine, saturated with cassis and dark chocolate flavors, with delicious notes of cherries, raspberries and oak. It has an interesting and complex tannin-acid structure. This compelling, authoritative Rhône blend showcases the brilliance of its terroir.
