Description

Roussanne is a delicate, late-ripening grape that, with a little care and patience, makes a beautifully aromatic and full-bodied wine. Our 2019 Roussanne is a golden straw color in the glass with delicate aromas of honeysuckle, lemon and Mandarin orange accented by pie crust, starfruit and vanilla. Flavors of citrus, honey and graham cracker harmonize with hints of vanilla and orange zest.

Roussanne can be paired with a variety of foods - try it with roast chicken, pâté, pork, cream sauces and even some moderately spicy dishes. Don’t be afraid to experiment with an array of soft and hard cheeses.

Wine Critic Reviews

"...laced with the essence of lemon confit, sage, chamomile and dried flowers. Savory and deep, with terrific structure, the 2019 captures all of the natural richness of Roussanne in the bright style that runs through all these wines." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "The 2019 Roussanne Camp 4 Vineyard is a solid step up. Medium gold-hued, with notes of sappy herbs, rocky minerality, and classic Marsanne stone fruits, it's medium bodied, has good mid-palate depth, and beautiful depth of fruit. It's well worth seeking out." ~ Jeb Dunnuck
