2018 King Estate Quail Run Roussanne Marsanne
-
Tasting Notes
-
Typically associated with the northern Rhône region of France, the grapes are a good example of the sum being even better than its parts. Roussanne, known for its spicy and acidic characteristics, is offset by Marsanne with its rich notes of stone fruit and honey. Vanilla bean, wildflower, nutmeg, orange marmalade are complemented by balanced oak.

Vineyard Notes
-
Quail Run Vineyards was established in 1989 in the warmer growing region of southern Oregon. The history of this classic blend of Roussanne and Marsanne is rooted in France’s Rhône Valley. Our blend comes from the warm climate of Oregon’s Rogue Valley. Each grape brings unique characteristics: structure and slightly more acid from Roussanne; richness from Marsanne; and silkiness with apricot notes from Viognier.
