A well made Rhone varietal produced in the famous Chalone AVA. This wine is 100% Marsanne and showcases the textbook honeysuckle and almond aromas that this varietal is associated with—the flavor profile indicates Marsanne qualities but on a somewhat one dimensional level. Muted orange zest, apricot and honey flavors are glimpsed but retreat quickly on the short finish. The consumption window on this one will be limited. Culinary pairings are broad and the simple flavors of the wine will work well with complex dishes. 158 cases produced.
Rating: Very Good (87) | $43 | 14.2% ABV

A new unknown producer, cool!
Definitely pick up a bottle and enjoy the juice.
I enjoy a good Marsanne. Unfortunately I could not find it locally, so I’ll have to find it online.
There are many online stores that carry it. If you have troubles finding a bottle, let us know and we’ll help track it down for you…
