2021 VMR

The 2021 ‘VMR’ is a field blend of Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. Traditionally paired together, these varieties bring different aromatic and structural properties to a moderately weighted yet balanced white wine. Hand harvested, whole cluster pressed, and fermented and aged in small vessels. Enjoy with rockfish, scallops, or your favorite locally produced goat cheese.

TASTING NOTES AS OF SEPTEMBER, 2023:
Aromas of white peach, floral, wet stone, pear, and lemongrass. On the palate, lemon custard, powdered sugar donut, peach, and minerality.
