"Zaca Mesa 2005 Roussanne, Santa Ynez Valley - From a Rhone pioneer, this ripe and succulent Roussanne gives off aromas of peach and honey and tastes of peach marmalade." "The Anti-Chardonnay," Bon Appetit August 2007.
"2005 Roussanne with pear, white stone fruit, honey, spice flavors and attractive mineral notes, it makes an outstanding accompaniment to grilled halibut or roast chicken with fresh figs." Quarterly Review of Wine, Summer 2007.
"The rich gold color implies how full this wine will feel, yet for all its richness, it's not weighty. The flavors are clean and cool, impressively dry for a wine with the ripe flavors of golden raisins and wheat. Those flavors need time to develop, when you could match their fat to white salmon sashimi or roast veal and cauliflower." 91 Points, Wine & Spirits Magazine, June 2007.
"The 2005 roussanne is the more serious wine -- rich, fragrant and ripe with fruit concentration and complexity. Think grilled and roasted chicken with garlic and rosemary." Santa Barbara News-Press, May 10, 2007.
