A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This '08 edition seems a bit more restrained than previous versions, which tended towards the DollyParton part of the spectrum; higher acidity/less alcohol but still plenty of lush/ripe Roussanne flavors. Jaffurs is consistently one of my favorite Calif Roussannes and this is about as good as it gets.
