2005 Roussanne
This Roussanne is blended from fresh, citrusy grapes picked at the Denner Vineyard
along with sweet, honey-like fruit from Halter Ranch. Morning fog at both vineyard
sites helped the fruit to maintain exceptional balance and essential acidity,
while sunny afternoons throughout the long growing season allowed for optimal
development of mature varietal flavors. Grapes were whole-cluster pressed in
small batches and fermented in neutral barrels for the purest expression of character.
The resulting wine is one reminiscent of orange blossom, lemon zest, and ripe
melon. In the mouth the wine is at once firmly structured and full-bodied. The
finish is long and quenching, carrying the initial citrus notes seamlessly through
to the end.
