2014 Marsanne
Winemaker Notes
The nose displays notes of magnolia, marzipan and a hint of green tea in the background. The palate is well blanced and shows remarkable roundness that contributes to a long-lasting finish.
Vineyard Notes
Our Marsanne comes from Bonofiglio Vineyard, owned by Glenn McGourty and his two brothers. This seven-acre organically farmed vineyard is located five miles north of the town of Hopland along the banks of the upper Russian River, and it provides ideal conditions for growing white Rhone varietals that need a long growing season to fully develop flavors and aromas while still retaining their natural acidity.
