This Marsanne has more elegance than you normally find. Honeydew and peach on nose. Nice texture, subtle liushness in mouth. I'd like more acid, but thats not what Marsanne is about.
I suspect this would pair well with seafood, but am sipping sans shellfish. Finish that lingers on the tongue with honeyed note, but not sweet.
Well done and bravo for this rare beast. Even though Marsanne excels blended, its valuable for consumers to taste the individual components, and since of many blending trials aren't something you get to experience, tasting single varietals and the role they play is a great way!
