  1. Dark gold in color.

    Fruity nose of oak, vanilla, melons, yellow apples, spices and light herbs.

    Full-bodied and elegant with medium minus acidity.

    Dry on the palate with apples, citrus, spices, oak, herbs, vanilla, earth and light vegetables.

    Short finish with limes and bitter almonds.

    This is an easy drinking white wine from Arizona. Feels like a California Chardonnay with a touch of Rhone. Interesting stuff.

    This Single Vineyard Marsanne needs some time in the bottle to mature properly, but already very approachable.

    Spicy and interesting, with mild complexity. Good by itself and good for parties.

    100% Marsanne grapes were aged in new French oak barrels. A tiny production of only 660 bottles.

    13.9% alcohol by volume.

    88 points.

  2. If you like this, I suggest offerings from Page Springs Cellars. Best white Rhône style I’ve had from the US
