2018 Lavender Ridge Roussanne – A Refreshing White Wine With Shrimp
Last night’s dinner was a shrimp pasta dish. With the 2018 Lavender Ridge Roussanne it was “perfect”! This Roussanne is powerful with floral aromatics, with hints of peaches, pears and provided a rich and silky smooth mouthful texture. The fullness of body, almost a creamy sense, is the key contributor making this a unique wine! Roussanne brings more acidity, elegance and aromatic complexities to the wine. Lavender Ridge 2016 Roussanne won Double Gold at the 2018 Sierra Foothills Wine Competition. The 2016 and 2018 releases are now a standard fixture in the wine cellar and a nice change up from Chardonnay! This retails for $28.
