2020 Arnot-Roberts Trousseau Luchsinger Vyd Lake County

WSI93 This is a crazy wine! At only 11% alcohol you’d expect a thin wine but this wine has grip, expressive nose and great structure! Impressive how they manage to extract so much character at such low alcohol levels (ripeness). Super light color and infinitely p[leasing, a fantastic sipping wine and food wine as well! 
Estate Notes: Our North Coast Appellation Trousseau is sourced from the three distinct vineyards; Luchsinger, Bohan Ranch and Bartolomei. The soil and weather in these sites are distinct from each other and as a result yield fruit with singular personalities. We harvest and ferment the sites on their own, without destemming and the resulting wines are aged separately in a mix of neutral French oak barrels and stainless steel. Blending takes place in the early spring and the wine is bottled without fining or filtration in early May. Trousseau is the thinnest skinned grape we work with and we appreciate this unique variety for its ability to make a wine that is light in color but packed with flavor. We feel that Trousseau is an extremely versatile wine that will pair well with a wide variety of foods and occasions.
