Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
With this small two-row block of vines on the Besson family property, we're continuing to explore the possibilities of noble Rhone varietals in our cooler climate on the western edge of the Santa Clara Valley. In France, Roussanne is typically blended with Marsanne to produce the famous and scarce white wines of Hermitage. There are few varietal Roussanne wines produced in California, and those are typically made in much riper style than ours. We've opted to harvest sooner, hoping to produce a balanced Roussanne that is compatible with a wide range of menu choices. The wine presents a rich golden yellow hue in the glass. Floral aromas mix with background hints of lime and peach. Flavors follow the fruit promised in the aromas, and the wine finishes dryly with a lingering taste of pears and peaches. Production of this wine is extremely limited, but we plan to keep a few bottles around for the long term, as we believe that further aging will be rewarded.
