Classic marsanne weight and honeysuckle white fruits; Roussanne does not bring as much crisp acidity as expected yet nice light florals. Lovely wine. 13.8% abv

Very nice Marsanne-Roussanne blend. Not as exciting as the reds from this boutique Mendocino producer.

It doesn’t get much better than this. A beautiful Rhone white blend. Aged better than expected.

Medium golden yellow. Striking white floral tropical notes with hints of stones and acids that carry through palate to long finish. Firm and lively textures and full of energy. Another new find AA6 value! 50-50 Roussanne Marsanne 14ABV. Mendocino high vineyard.

Night #3 of no red wine. Going to be a long 2 weeks! The nose on this is not terribly appealing and there's probably a little too much oak. That said, while unusual, the flavors are pleasant and the finish quite long. How's that for a split personality?

I bottled this a few months ago. Still young but very drinkable. Just being cheated of some complexity. And a mildly "rough" edge to it. .....lots of gold fruit. 50/50 Mars/Rous.
