Bonita Springs Vineyard Marsanne

Light golden in color.

Light nose and full bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing limes, grapefruits, citrus, green apples, light wood, spices, herbs, earth and black pepper.

Tangy finish with limes and almonds.

This is a very enjoyable Marsanne from Arizona. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Not too oaky and fruit forward, tangy and entertaining. Feels like a California Chardonnay.

I had this vintage a year ago and it is drinking much better now.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food.

100% Marsanne grapes were aged in new French oak barrels. A tiny production of only 660 bottles.

13.9% alcohol by volume.

90 points.
