Description:
Our Lapsus has been a blend of Roussanne and Viognier, but, alas, the Roussanne scandal is upon us! Apparently a good fraction of the Roussanne in California was actually a clone of Viognier, and this was the case for our Roussanne. (Now replanted in true Roussanne.) We were surprised. Between the two Viognier clones, this one ripened fully three weeks later, had smaller bunches, deeper flavors and produced a more structured wine. Nonetheless, we'll go with the experts and call our Lapsus 100% Viognier, even though it's a blend of two very different wines. One clone provides a fruity bouquet to the wine and is fermented and aged in small stainless steel barrels. The second clone provides the backbone of this blend and is fermented and aged in Rousseau French oak barrels. We combined these into our special blend Lapsus, a word used in France as we use "Freudian slip", or a slip of the tongue. Serve slightly chilled.
