A 300-case blend of Marsanne (50%), Viognier (25%), and Roussanne (25%), the lavishly rich 2001 Proprietary White combines the mineral/flinty characteristics of Marsanne with the exotic richness of Roussanne, and Viognier's sweet apricot/orange marmalade notes. Ripe and honeyed, with glorious notions of tangerine and honeysuckle intermixed with rose petal, it is full-bodied, with good underlying acidity, terrific fruit purity, and a blockbuster, intensely-perfumed nose. This 2001 will easily stand up to rich shellfish dishes over the next 2-3 years. Importer: BestConnect Imports, Aspen, CO; tel. (970) 920-6916
