Medium straw yellow in appearance. Restrained nose with some layers of beeswax, a touch of butter, spices and some green apples. Balanced acidity (6/10) and medium bodied. Fresh palate with notes of citrus, more specifically lemon rind and some white gravel. Medium plus finish.

First winery on our second day in Napa Valley is Reverie II Winery with Austin and Pedals as our hosts. First wine is the Roussanne Marsanne bottling from the Sand Lot Vineyard in El Dorado. This bottling is made up of 60% Roussanne and 40% Marsanne.

Price Point:

Medium yellow hue with an inviting nose that evolves with air. White flowers on the nose with citrus zest and some honeysuckle. Additionally perfumey notes and some tropical fruits when it warmed up. Day two brought on more citrus notes like oranges and something similar to acacias. Crisp and fresh on the palate with bright acidity (6.5/10) and medium bodied. Solid minerality on the palate with notes of citrus, stone and tropical fruits. Maybe some lychee. Medium plus finish.
