This is also our first release of the Marsanne/Roussanne blend, and we've decided to call it 'petit-blanc' rather than the mouthful of its varietal names. The same picking and processing as the chardonnay was applied here, with the exception of tank fermentation then barrel aging. The wine has real body for a white wine, a generous floral nose, strong acid backbone and great length. It's not a fruit driven wine, but has a mellowness and honeydew mid palate that really carries the wine.
