(Maison Bleue Petite Joie Marsanne Boushey Vineyard Yakima Valley) Leaps up from the glass with marzipan, spice, pear, white peach, and sweet spices with a lot of aromatic complexity – truly you can just sit and smell this wine and be satisfied. The palate is textured and airy while retaining a sense of viscosity and depth. Hangs around for a lingering finish. 100% Marsanne. Aged 11 months in French oak (30% new). 13.3% alcohol. 140 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
