Description

If you enjoy the heft of a good Chardonnay then Marsanne is a great full-bodied alternative to try. Notes of cantaloupe, pie crust and jasmine on the nose are followed by citrus and lemon curd on the palate, backed by rich honey, vanilla and golden delicious apple flavors. As this wine ages, flavors will become more complex and concentrated with an oily, honeyed texture.

Marsanne is a food friendly white wine. Pair with any rich seafood or shellfish dishes such as lobster or sea bass, as well as chicken or pork. 

Wine Critic Reviews
"…laced with hints of apricot, mango, tangerine peel and pineapple. This is an especially tropical, exuberant style, even if the alcohol is on the lower side." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous "The 2021 Marsanne Rodney's Vineyard is another more medium-bodied, enjoyable, fresh white that has attractive white peach, caramelized citrus, and subtle nutty, toasty aromas and flavors...it should evolve for 4-6 years, if not longer." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "A golden-yellow hue in the glass, this wine offers aromas of lemon curd, wool, chalk and white flower. The texture is chalky and flavors range from white flowers and mango to honey mustard and sea salt." ~ Wine Enthusiast
