Cowhorn 2009 Spiral 36 White (Applegate Valley)

Country: US / Spiral 36
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend Oregon
Winery: Cowhorn / Applegate Valley

This biodynamic Rhône blend is equal parts of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier, co-fermented with native yeast. It’s a splendid example of the non-interventionist style, rich, and textural. The yeasty flavors are refreshing—pear and apple and cucumber fruit holding down the center—clean and solid. The wine gains power and brings in some toasty barrel flavors as it rolls into the finish.
