Estate Roussanne

2010 Santa Ynez Valley Roussanne

The Rideau Vineyard Estate Roussanne from the Santa Ynez Valley is a captivating white wine that embodies the essence of its renowned terroir. This vintage shines with a medium body, offering a delightful roundness on the palate that is perfectly balanced by a high acidity that brightens the experience. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing luscious notes of stone fruits like peach and apricot, intertwined with hints of floral aromas, making it incredibly aromatic and inviting. This wine is bone dry, allowing the complex flavors to truly express themselves without any interference from residual sweetness. The finish is crisp and refreshing, making this Roussanne an excellent choice for pairing with a variety of dishes.

Central Coast

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.
