this pure marsanne was whole-cluster pressed and fermented in french oak barrels—30% of which were new. it's full and flavorful, and it has a lemony richness that's streaked with veins of butterscotch and marzipan. as with all of this winery's 2011 white wines, the aromatics are excellent and the length is exceptional.
