Essence de Roussanne

2010 Paso Robles 100% Roussanne

Clos Solene Essence de Roussanne is a captivating example of a single-varietal white wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Roussanne grape. Hailing from the sun-drenched Paso Robles region, this wine possesses a full body, complemented by a bright and mouthwatering acidity that enhances its overall freshness. With prominent fruit intensity, the Essence de Roussanne reveals enticing notes of ripe stone fruits, honey, and subtle floral undertones, evoking a sense of warmth and elegance. The wine is beautifully dry, providing a clean finish that refreshes the palate with each sip. A true testament to meticulous winemaking, this vintage is a delightful expression of the terroir and the extraordinary qualities that Roussanne can offer.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
