  Butterscotch, butter, honey and roasted-peanut aromas lead to similar boisterous flavors in this extremely rich and full-bodied wine from Rhône-style winemaker Bill Easton. It's so ripe and luxurious that it almost tastes sweet. Aged cheese should make a great pairing.

  The aroma of this uber-sophisticated white wine is almost like vintage Champagne, combining light smoky, toasted notes with a figgy, lees-stirred freshness. The plush and mature flavors resemble toasted walnuts, marzipan, white peach and honey, yet this is a dry dinner wine, not…

  Rich in honey and lemon, this wine's otherwise pleasant texture and balanced acidity is marred slightly by a whiff of petrol that might mellow with age. Bottle aged for two years after barrel fermentation, give it time and air.

  Entirely varietal, this Roussanne was whole-cluster fermented and is intense in its mushroomy, woodsy richness and layers of complexity and depth. With a lingering mineral finish, a fine case study in Roussanne's ability to stand out on its own.

  A voluptuous wine packed with almonds, a handful of herbs and citrus aromas and flavors, this big-boned, dry, barrel-fermented Roussanne finishes with a swirl of lemon. Available in 2013.

  Made in an oxidized style like a Sherry from Spain, ROX is meant to be drunk as an apéritif with raw oysters or hard, stinky cheeses and cured meats. An interesting almond-flavored take on Sierra Foothills-grown Roussanne grapes for sure.
