Silver - International Wine Challenge 2006
Dave Sez - "One of my favorites – a new grape from France, cloned from Grenache and cabernet sauvignon rootstocks. It has some of the characteristics of both – some bright fruit and a rich, tannic finish, plus a mid-palate that suggests red Burgundy. Got wine snobs coming to dinner? Stump them with a varietal they have never tasted!"
Winery Description - Marselan is a unique crossing of Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. This new grape variety results in a densely colored deep purple wine with an amazingly rich silky mouth feel showing red and purple fruit flavors of blueberries, plumbs and raspberries. |
