Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The wine has an aroma of pear, white peach and honeysuckle. The body is light to medium with a good texture and nice crisp finish. The flavor profile mimics the nose with peach and pear notes along with some minerality. !0% Viognier is blended into the wine to a floral component to the wine.

Winemaker Notes
This has been one of my favorite wines to make since starting to work at Coyote Canyon. I have always enjoyed Roussanne and after working with it for a few years really appreciate how clean and smoothly this wine ferments. The wine is made in 100% stainless steel to highlight the fruit aspect of the varietal. The grape ripened so quickly this vintage that the alcohol ended up a little higher than anticipated. A little Viognier was blended in to add a little flavor and complexity to the finished wine
