Outstanding In The Field

2012 Russian River Valley Roussanne

Coterie Cellars Outstanding In The Field is a striking red Roussanne from the renowned Russian River Valley, perfectly showcasing the expressive qualities of this unique varietal. This 2012 vintage presents a medium-bodied profile, with a bright acidity that invigorates the palate and enhances the wine's overall finesse. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of ripe stone fruits and citrus zest, beautifully balanced by subtle herbal undertones. A gentle tannic structure provides just enough framework to support the wine, making it wonderfully approachable. Although the wine leans towards the dry side, it retains an engaging richness that invites contemplation. Ideal for pairing with a variety of dishes, this charming wine is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any gathering.

Sonoma County
Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
