The 2005 Roussanne, Santa Barbara County like the previous vintages, has a focused floral-mineral aroma and flavors of lime, honey, and stone. Unlike our previous vintages, it is a blend of wines from two vineyards. Stolpman Vineyard (66%) adds high acidity, mineral and citrus. The warmer Westerly Vineyard fruit (34%) adds honey, spice, and has a softer mouth feel. As a young wine, it is classic Roussanne and should age for years. It was fermented in fifteen neutral French barrels. (240 cases)
