2007 Terre Rouge Sierra Foothills Roussanne
One 750ml bottle
This Roussanne bottling originates from a newly established vineyard site between Auburn and Foresthill called the Monarch Mine Vineyard. It's planted with a clone that originates from a Chave family parcel on the hill at Hermitage. A difficult variety to grow, Roussanne ripens unevenly, so it must be harvested selectively and not all at the same time.
The resulting wine has classic Roussanne characteristics: straw golden color; with exquisite quince, honey-nut, and beeswax aromas. It has a very rich and silky mouthfeel. Bottle aged for two years prior to release, it is a rare treat.
