Country: US / Marcella’s
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend California
Winery: Fess Parker / Santa Barbara County
This easy-drinking blend of 86% Viognier, 8% Roussanne, 3% Marsanne and 3% Grenache Blanc—featuring a sailboat painting by Santa Barbara artist Chris Potter—offers aromas of flambéed bananas and toasted coconut on the nose. The palate shows grapefruit pith and the warmth of browned pears and seared red apples, seasoned with a nice sparkle of acidity.
