Marsanne on Snooth
April 2016
This is just an excellent bottle of Santa Ynez Marsanne/Roussanne from Qupe. The nose is very distinctive, floral and reminiscent of freshly peeled clementine. For an '08 white, this is still very much alive and vibrant. Layers of orange zest, orange marmalade, apricot, ripe peach and a touch of salinity mix with medium plus acidity. Read More

Had Foxall and family over last night. Heard E-Mark hosted as well, so please ... like this is a Clairette, Marsanne blend which makes a lot of sense as it didn't have the elevated acidity I'd expect from Sauv Blanc, seeming better for early consumption, this wine was clearly aged longer than necessary, but still held up fine for easy drinking...

Trying to recall a conversation we had a little while ago on this subject.Whats the most widely planted (acreage) and produced (bottles) red grape in CA, U.S., and worldwide?I seem to recall a Snooth article mentioning Grenache as the most widely planted red grape worldwide, but that was some years ago.

Lots of good stuff here and it was difficult to not open one; only the fear of ... multiple bottles of Prado (Marsanne/Roussanne blend) and she responded with "Yippee!"Like I mentioned, I know that Robin's plate is full, what with the new job at Swanson. Whenever you chat with him, tell him that he as a lot of fans out here. I'll keep my Aps... Read More

We tipped when the tasting room person went out of their way or did more than ... ... The Rhones (including Marsanne, Roussanne Syrah, and Viognier), were also my standouts on my past visits, and I was not impressed with the Pinot for the most part.

Too early for any of the tasting rooms to be open so we headed down to Jalama beach for some salt air and scenery. Beautiful beach with some interesting campsites and about a half dozen surfers enjoying some mo... Read More
