Church & State Wines Marsanne 2018
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA nice shift to a drier style has given the 2018 Marsanne a more complex edge out of the gate. Look for a mix of orange and dried apricot on the nose, with nectarines and almonds underneath. The alcohol has gone down even further to 12.5%, adding to the freshness of the wine. I love the direction this wine is heading toward. It is perfect for vegetarian or simple shellfish dishes. The fruit comes off two warm sites on the Black Sage Bench, Coyote Bowl and Bella Vineyards, and it's aged for eight months in oak.Tasted: 06 August 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $25.99 | 750ml | winery online/direct |
