Road 13 Marsanne Low Yield Wines 2014
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaAn orchard of perfumed florals, starfruit, passionfruit and pink grapefruit open this expressive marsanne. Whole cluster pressing and fermentation in old neutral barrels builds mouth-feel and complexities, resulting in an elegant wildflower and honeyed pour. A sheen of wax on the fuller palate helps the honeyed melon, ripe pear and quince glide along, buoyed easily by moderate lemon oil acidity and lingering with fine almond spices. A lovely, elegant, concentrated expression of marsanne, and one that would suit kasu marinated sablefish or butter seared scallops.Tasted: 12 August 2015Tasted by: Prices:BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
