Eric Ross 2008 Saralee’s Vineyard Marsanne-Roussanne (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Saralee’s Vineyard
Variety: Marsanne-Roussanne California
Winery: Eric Ross / Russian River Valley

A beautiful wine, dry, complex and crisp, and easily one of the best white Rhône-style bottlings of the vintage. It shows brilliantly clean acidity that provides a brisk mouthfeel to the apricot, pineapple and pear flavors that rest on a firm ground of minerals. Great as a richer, more exotic alternative to Sauvignon Blanc.
