Wine Maker Notes This vintage certainly stands up with our best vintages of Marsanne, like 1991, 1994, 1999, and 2001. It’s a tad bigger and richer than those wines with the inclusion of the Rozet and Bien Nacido fruit, without giving up the basic character of the core component from Ibarra-Young. The wine shows that “wet stone” minerality with hints of peach pit, orange rind and almonds. In the mouth, the wine has significant weight but is balanced by the acidity and relatively low alcohol (13.2%).
