Roussanne is a richly complex white grape indigenous to the Rhône region of France. Here in California, Zaca Mesa Vineyard represents an ideal site, where complex sandy loam soils, high elevation, and breezy afternoons produce one of the most complex and mineral-driven examples in California.

Intensely inviting and electrifyingly exuberant, our 2018 Roussanne is sure to please and delight. The bouquet is bountiful as it evokes fruit-forward notes of nectarine, golden apple skin, and kumquat. Give it another hearty swirl in the glass and embrace zealous aromas of honeycomb, sliced almond, and wet stone. The front palate is mineral-focused before giving way to peach and hints of tahini. The mouthwatering acidity slowly envelopes the palate, lengthening the persistent sweet citrus notes and integrated French oak spice.
