Jessence Blanc

Jessence Blanc Wine Details
Price: $18.00 per bottle

Description: Capturing the courageous and inspirational essence of Jessie, our Jessence Blanc is composed of 49% Viognier, 42% Roussanne and 9% Marsanne, sourced completely from Lodi's Ripken Vineyard, highly-regarded for award-winning Rhone varietals; expertly balanced with just the right amount of refreshing acidity to pair with most foods. More than any other wine we've made, this bottle of brilliant gold is completely dependent on temperature for its full expression. We suggest you cool the wine slightly to 60 degrees then observe a constant evolution as it slowly emerges from its chill, revealing wonderful changing layers of delicate, complex aromas of peach, apricot, golden apple, walnut and a touch of perfume, almost like a fine Sauternes. Never-oaked nectarine will fill you mouth, followed by a long finish of spicy almond with an alternating touch of grapefruit and lemon zest. Ah, pure bliss!
