Y Rousseau 2013 Old Vines Colombard (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Old Vines
Variety: Colombard California
Winery: Y Rousseau / Russian River Valley

That 40-year-old Colombard even exists in the Russian River Valley is quite remarkable and so it’s a worthy exercise to taste this wine for the sake of history and diversity alone. Happily it’s also quite fresh in pineapple, pear and exotic lemongrass, textured throughout, dry and steely on the finish.
