Winemaker’s Notes: A Rhône-style blend, our second vintage of Ranch White consists of Marsanne, Roussane, and Viognier. A combination of tank and barrel fermentation gives this wine a balance of fruit and soft oak characterisitcs. The wine offers fragrant citrus, stone fruit and beeswax aromas, while the pallet delivers fresh flavors and a crisp, clean finish.
