2023 Roussanne
100% Roussanne.
Pineapple, grilled peaches, sea spray, and marzipan conjure a summer evening in the Western Hills of Paso Robles. The palate is fresh yet taut, with great length, showing notes of honeysuckle, peach cobbler, and almond blossom. A perfect balance of fruit and savory, with just a touch of umami to keep you going back for more. Drink 2025–2035
“The majority of the 2023 Roussanne is sourced from the Maha estate, with the remainder sourced from James Berry Vineyard. It leads with a lifted and poised nose of white flowers, dried herbs and green orchard fruits, bolstered by accents of struck flint and an underlying caramelized richness. The palate is deep, oily and textural but tense and animated as well, concluding with an elegant finish with admirable focus and definition.”

“The 2023 Roussanne blossoms in the glass with honied florals, nuances of candied ginger and chamomile. Savory elements emerge within, displaying soothingly round textures and saline mineral tones before giving way to a hint of raw almond. Apricot and spice linger through the long, lightly structured finale.”
