Wine Review:
2007 Peay Vineyards Estate Roussanne/Marsanne, Sonoma Coast
Pale yellow. Exotic aromas of spicy orchard and pit fruits are complemented by zesty lemon rind, flowers and anise. Deep, chewy peach and pear flavors coat the palate and are firmed by tangy lemon/lime notes. Gains weight with air and finishes with lingering floral character and excellent chewy persistence. This clocks in at 13.7% alcohol, which is lower than most examples of these varieties in the New World.
