The release of this wine is extremely special given what occurred just days before harvest. The vineyard where we source the Roussanne and Marsanne was trapped in Sonoma Valley and off limits for two entire weeks while our wild fires burned. Although not apparent initially just after fermentation, the steps that we took at the winery wasn’t enough to prevent smoke taint from showing up about 6 months in tank. After a lot of effort and tools of the trade, we were able to beat it back. Today, after sensory and chemical analysis, we’re happy to report a very clean wine. Our Rhône inspired white wine is composed of 40% Roussanne, 40% Marsanne & 20% Viognier. You’ll find on the nose mascarpone and floral notes while on the palate green app
...more... le, spice and caramel. 37 cases produced.
