Roussanne, Yakima Valley

Roussanne, Yakima Valley Wine Details
Price: $19.99 per bottle

Description: Roussanne, a white grape variety heretofore relatively unknown outside its native region of the Rhône Valley in France, is being embraced in the new world as a terrific alternative to Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. Like it’s sister variety, Viognier, Roussanne’s medium-to-full body and mouth-feel, along with it’s flavors of tropical fruit, mangoes, pears, peaches, and herb tea make it the perfect wine to pair with salads, sliced fruits, a variety of cheeses, and many hors d’oeuvres, as well as moderately seasoned fish, fowl, or vegetable entrèes. Serve this wine chilled, but not cold, for best flavors. Santé!
