2007 Stagecoach Vineyard Marsanne“This wine was aged 16 months in 30% new French oak and 70% one-year-old barrels. We decided that the Stagecoach vineyard needed additional barrel aging to help marry the minerality of the wine with the intense fruit, thus producing a wine of elegance, finesse and ability to age gracefully for years to come.” – Jeff Cohn Tasting Notes Spiced pineapple and coconut crème are intertwined with wet stone, orange blossom and sweet butter. On the palate the wine is viscous and opulent, but carries itself elegantly through the finish. This is classic Marsanne, with flavors of orange blossom, apricots and peaches that are highlighted by honeysuckle, candle wax, bitter almond and hints of clover.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 93 points I love the 2007 Marsanne Stagecoach Vineyard (117 cases), which possesses serious concentration as well as loads of character. Wine Spectator 92 points
Extremely fragrant, coconut-infused pineapple, peach and apricot flavors give this wine a generous tropical profile. Full-bodied, with a lush texture but also enough acidity on the backbone to keep this light on its feet. The piña colada notes echo on the long finish. Drink now through 2012. 83 cases made. –MW |
