Like Northern Rhone or Chateauneuf style. Big and luscious with a solid linear core.

A very impressive wine. Apparently this is the only vineyard in the Santa Cruz Mountains planted to Roussanne. Love what this winery is doing with land that is far too overlooked!

Beautiful, floral nose followed by a round, textured palate. Stunner!
