Road 13 Roussanne Low Yield Wines 2013
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWe were impressed with this wine from its nougat, honeycomb, wax and white florals to its fat, rich roussanne character. The fruit is whole-cluster pressed and its ferment takes place in a concrete egg. The attack is full bodied, with a waxy mouthfeel, intense honeyed pear, creamy lees, vanilla and ample finely ground exotic spices. Not for the shy but there is a mid-palate, stony mineral thread that keeps it fresh and leaning toward balanced. It finishes warm at 14.6 percent but it only makes it better suited to rich lobster dishes. Well made with six percent viognier in the blend.Tasted: 01 December 2015Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Treve RingPrices:| BC | $24.00 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
