Sierra Foothills Marsanne

Sierra Foothills Marsanne Wine Details
Price: $20.00 per bottle

Description: We bet you're looking back here for one of the pithy, yet vaguely amusing, back labels that you have come to expect from Twisted Oak. Well, we're sorry to disappoint you. The fact is, our winemaker is over-the-top producing all of these small batches of handcrafted wine. While they are all Damn Yummy™ to be sure, each one now requires its own unique, witty back label. We have succumbed to the pressure. We give up. Just drink it. It's good. (And if this is your first bottle of Twisted Oak - welcome! The other labels are better.)

Varietal Definition
Marsanne:
White grape of the Northern Rhône and primary constituent of white Crozes-Hermitage and St.Joseph it is also a permitted blend for red Hermitage. It produces wines high in extract and alcohol with pronounced floral and almond characteristics. Often blended with the more refined Roussanne for a touch of elegance. Seen as a varietal in the Victoria region of Australia, notably Chateau Tahbilk.
