1999 Rosenblum Marsanne
Dry Creek, Sonoma, California
 
WB Rating: 86

 
Alcohol by volume: 14.1%
Price at time of purchase: $22.00 (from winery)
 
Type: Rhone-style White
Principal varietal(s): Marsanne

Clean, slightly tart but refreshing Rhone-varietal white that has flowery grapefruit and spice notes very similar to a Viognier. A bit of controversy in the group: some found it unusual and not particularly pleasant, most found it crisp and interesting as a change of pace. Its high acidity and good balance make it an excellent match for fish dishes. - WB Team 2001-10-26
