Calais Winery
La Cuvee Source Roussanne
Texas High Plains, Texas, USA
This is actually the "Source" or Roussanne, Marsanne, Viognier RMV broken down to 43/35/22. Quite an expressive little wine. Didn't take much viognier in this blend for the more structured backbone. But this wine had excellent acidity that was able to cut through jalapeño encrusted salmon filets and showed kiwi and lemongrass up front with a nice, thick core. One of the two top winemakers in Texas. Wouldn't recommend many Texas producers but this is a great producer through and through. Benjamin Calais from France is doing some great things here in Texas.
