Mcpherson Rousanne Reserve

”our reserve roussanne is fermented in stainless steel like our roussanne but ages in neutral oak barrel for eight months before release. The variety is most commonly grown in the northern rho;ne valley seemingly defined by obscurity but we are seeing many more plantings of the warm climate grape in california washington and australia. Too often upstaged by other wines the grape is typically relegated to blends where it adds that extra dimension or boost of flavor. Roussanne is most celebrated for its unique candy lemon drop flavors and delicate hebaceous tea-like aromas; coupled with a long rich finish it is without a doubt a wine that deserves more attention.” – mcpherson cellars
