Winemakers Notes

The warm afternoons and cool evening at McGinley Vineyard allow for a long growing season resulting in finely balanced fruit with rich flavors and excellent acidity. The wine is barrel fermented and aged in a neutral French oak with 100% malolactic fermentation for an excellent creamy mouth feel.




The Roussanne is made with a delicious twist: lemon-green color; pronounced tropical aromas of key lime pie, pineapple, apricot, orange blossoms, pear, floral and Meyer lemon; flavors build upon the aromas adding oranges over a balanced acidity and creamy mouth-filling read more...

2007 Roussanne, Lionheart Wines. M, youthful, peach, floral, hints of wax and lychee, and a creamy note (100% malo, says winemaker). Pretty nose. Full bodied, with medium-high acidity, medium-plus alcohol, creamy mouthfeel, and a pleasantly long, grapefruity finish. Dig this. The winemaker, Leon Glover, said he’s going for a “distinctive, bold” wine, and I’d say he succeeded.

2007 Lionheart Wines Santa Barbara County McGinley Vineyard Roussane
Only 26 cases…get some now!!
C: lighter golden straw
N: Great pear and peach, followed by some wonderful pineapple and blossoms of florals. Some creaminess and lemon custard here too.
P: Full-bodied with intense pineapple flavors that seem sweet and yet the wine finishes nicely crisp with a little cream underneath and further tropical fruit from the nose. Very good!

Lionheart Wines 07 McGinley Vineyard Roussanne (wow... really?). There going for overall balance (my kind of winemakers! :-). Stirred on the lees in nuetral French oak barrels. The nose is OFF THE CHART! Kiwi, tropical fruits, and flowers all over the place. Totally killer.

Beautiful nose - marzipan and jellied fruits. Much milder in the mouth, but still very floral. Lower acidity and a bit floral, but nice. Would need something salty to balance it out. Delicate finish with just a little bit of spice.
