  Marsanne/Roussanne. Northern Rhone. Organic, hand-picked. Oak. Unique nose, floral and stone fruit aromas with some citrus and bees wax or honey. Medium, smooth body. The complexity of flavors makes for a nice, decent-lasting finish on the palate.

  Exactly that which I look for in norther rhone whites: Marianne/roussanne blend with majority roussanne I am told. Has good freshness but also body and nutty, if not oily complexity, wood is not too noticeable (which is good). Avoids the main pitfalls of the wine type that can sometimes be too anemic and bitter from being picked too early, or oily and bitter from picked too late and treated with too much new wood.

  Quick trade tasting note - this is there marsanna and roussanne together and it's really makes a very complete wine. Floral, pears, spices, lemon lift, fresh mint and calling for food.
