Como

2011 Napa Valley Marsanne

The 2011 Tallulah Como, a Marsanne from the esteemed Napa Valley, presents a delightful exploration of this less common varietal. This white wine showcases a medium-bodied character that provides a smooth mouthfeel, enhanced by its well-balanced acidity, which adds a refreshing lift to the overall profile. On the nose, it offers a prominent fruit intensity with aromas of honeysuckle and pear, accompanied by subtle hints of stone fruit that invite further exploration. The wine is dry, allowing its elegant flavors to shine without sweetness overshadowing its complexity. As it lingers on the palate, the Tallulah Como reveals a delightful blend of freshness and richness, making it a versatile choice for various pairings or simply enjoying on its own. This wine truly exemplifies the unique terroir of Napa Valley and is a fine representation of Marsanne's potential in this region.

Napa Valley

Napa gained international acclaim following the Judgement of Paris in 1976, when its wines defeated its French counterparts in a blind tasting. Napa's signature wines are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and various Bordeaux blends, but many other varieties, such as Pinot Noir, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc also thrive here. With 16 sub-AVAs and a Mediterranean climate with rich geology, Napa is a winemaker's dream. The winegrowing region runs between the Mayacamas Mountains and Vaca Mountains for 30 miles, from Calistoga to Los Carneros. Napa has a wide array of soil types for such a small region, from volcanic foothills to alluvial valley floors, which help to produce varied and complex wines.
