Wine Notes
Unknown to many California wine drinkers, Marsanne, Viognier, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc are staples in the Rhône Valley. Our version is harvested from vines nestled on an easternfacing slope just above our winery that is exposed to soft morning sunshine before easing into afternoon shade. The resulting wine boasts brisk acidity as well as full-bodied fruit, with a luscious mouthfeel and mineral character indicative of the rocky volcanic soil at Moon Mountain Vineyard. Rich and round without yielding crispness, this blend offers a New World interpretation of timeless French winemaking.
