Blend of 60% Roussanne, 40% Viognier. This wine opens with a push of lemon curd mixed with white peach, apricot and a touch of marzipan. A suave, textural wine with tremendous fruit sweetness, a touch of oak, chamomile, and ginger, this wine has density and length, but maintains a lightness and freshness that keeps one wanting more. Fermented in stainless steel and concrete, and aged for 11 months in barrel.
Technical Information
