Kent Rasmussen Esoterica 2009 Roussanne - 3 Pack

I second that! I am still staring at 6 ruined Cosentino bottles (which woot is refunding-can’t complain about the customer service) that arrived hot enough to cook an egg on. I’d hope that its the last time we see the word Consentino on this site.

Any chance someone has had both this Rousanne and the Wellington Rousanne and could compare for us? We tried the Wellington and even though we generally aren’t white drinkers we very much enjoyed it. Solely on the Esoterica (and KR) name, we bought this also, but haven’t opened any yet.

I want cheez. Pleez buy this wine.

I adore this. Heading to the winery in September! :slight_smile:

Woot off? I wish I wasn’t on the West Coast!

Wow, only 53 trios were available.

Boy, I’m sorry to have missed this one: I would have gotten as many more as I could! This is a gorgeous wine. I found the Wellington to be over-oaked, lacking freshness and having a bitter, even hot, finish. This is wonderful stuff. Crisp and minerally, it displays more fruit as it opens - and warms - up. Fruit isn’t florid like a viognier, but restrained and elegant. I’ll go along with that woodsy/humus-y/truffle-y finish, but it is very subtle.
