The 2021 White Hillfighter, a varietal Roussanne that's refined for 15 months in a combination of amphora and neutral oak, is wickedly fresh and vividly pure with a bouquet of dried apricots and pear complementing mint and chamomile nuances. It's texturally thrilling, weighty yet juicy and energetic, with a core of decadently ripe orchard fruits and sweet spices that swirl throughout. This leaves a raw almond richness and notes of mineral-tinged melon through the long and staining finale, as a bump of residual acidity maintains amazing freshness.
