Wind Gap Trousseau Gris 2014

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesTrousseau Noir is the indigenous grape of Savoie, one that thrives at altitude. The gris is a rare colour mutation, and here thrives from the vineyard's proximity to the cool Pacific ocean. Heady earthy herbaceousness, white grapefruit pith, gentle nuttiness, fine leesy spices and earthiness are textured with an apple and pear skin grip - major skin contact is evident here. An alluring depth of salty herbal fruit and bitter pear through to the finish. This vibrant, lively wine is incidentally white; a white skinned grape made like it was a red wine. Impressive, detailed and characterful - a joy to drink through.Tasted: 12 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
