Covenant Mensch Roussanne, Lodi 2015 ($20)

This is a wine that has never gotten the coverage that it deserves. I have always liked it, and am happy to share my thoughts on it with you.

The wine opens with a ripe nose of juicy melon, pineapple, apricot, and some flinty notes with a hint of butterscotch candy in the background. The mouth is extremely balanced, with bursting notes of ripe stone fruit, a viscous mouth-feel, and enough acid to keep it bright. The finish is full and complex with notes of ripe honeydew, Crème Brûlée, baking spices, and saline lingering on the palate. This is a perfect wine for those looking for a gateway into the world of wine. It’s complex, but yet fruity enough to keep the attention of most drinkers.

This is a perfect white mevushal option that can go well with a wide variety of foods. Personally my favorite pairing is either chicken soup or vegetable lo mein.

Score: A-

Value: A-
