Naggiar 2009 La Contessa Sylvana White (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / La Contessa Sylvana
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend California
Winery: Naggiar / Sierra Foothills

This Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier blend is named for a cousin gifted in the art of matchmaking. It’s a touch sweet, a little closed still, with notes of tar and caramel and the promise of lightly flavored apples and honeysuckle in the body of the wine.
