What We Taste
Fresh apricot and peach, and sweet Spring flowers. A certain delicacy and nuance over the 2012 vintage, but with characteristic Roussanne viscosity. Wonderfully long and graceful, gently spiced sweet peach finish.

What We Made
81% Roussanne, 19% Grenache Blanc (Landgraf & Hill Vineyards, respectively).  Our whites are typically held in a 50 degree room when harvested, then immediately whole cluster pressed at very cool temps.  For the 2013 Roussanne this was followed by 3 weeks of barrel fermentation at 53 degrees in neutral French oak.  5 months of barrel aging in premium French oak, 2 months of lees stirring.  510 cases made.  12.8% ABV.

How We Serve
Nice and cool at about 50-60 degrees. That's roughly 20-25 minutes in your refrigerator before serving (When in doubt, chill it a little longer. You can always bring it up to temp quickly). Enjoy it with many mid-weight roast meats, and/or dishes prepared with lighter colored stone fruits -- like apricot-glazed pork chop, for example. Oh my. We also love to pair Roussanne with White Stilton & peaches. *drool*
