Wine Notes
With the introduction of Viognier and Marsanne in this vintage, we continue to nurture Rhône Valley inspiration in New World soil. Anchored by Grenache Blanc’s racy acidity, Roussanne, Viognier and Marsanne add weight and exotic aromatics to a beautifully focused and precise wine. Though Moon Mountain Vineyard’s elevation and afternoon sun exposure are generally more conducive to crafting red wines, volcanic activity carved a shaded sanctuary where these delicate white varieties thrive.
