Orofino Few and Far Between Washington Series Roussanne 2024
Washington, United StatesThe roussanne grapes in this wine were grown in the Ancient Lakes AVA, a 3.5 hour drive south of Orofino, overlooking the Columbia Gorge. High above the Columbia River, it boasts several cool sites suited to white grapes. This was fermented and aged in a mix of stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels with little or no intervention. The nose is a mix of floral and herbal scents, the palate is medium to full weight, something you associate with roussanne, but more silky than unctuous. Plenty of Meyer lemon and juicy pear with a twist of ripe peach fill the palate. It is a white wine for thinkers that can enliven any dinner conversation, and pair with various foods from turkey to lobster or a root vegetable casserole.Tasted: 18 March 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $25.00 | 750ml | winery online, select private retailers |
