Strong floral notes — honeysuckle and gardenia. Ripe peach lurks amongst the garden of flowers as well. On the palate, peaches and fresh nectarines are the dominant fruit flavors. Honey and a touch of spice round out the finish.

Our tiny ultra-premium internationally recognized winery crushes the 2007 harvest of Roussanne... which was severely impacted by a frost around Easter. Rice hulls are used to create juice channels. This Roussanne will be blended with Viognier. The 2003 Viognier/Roussanne was rated one of the Top 100 Exciting Wines in the World by Tom Stevenson, international wine writer and editor of the New Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia. As an estate winery, we have the advantage of crushing our fruit ripe after it is harvested.
