The 2018 Cavern Select Roussanne has notes of brioche, wet stone, and candied lemon on the nose. A round mouthfeel on the mid-palate pairs with flavors of apricot and chamomile. The wine has a long, refreshing finish.
This fortified dessert wine is indeed Margaret’s gold. Toasted hazelnuts and stewed peach aromas tantalize the nose while notes of dried apricot, orange zest and butterscotch delight the tongue. A limited number of barrels of estate-grown Orange Muscat were selected beginning with the 2001 vintage. The barrels were blended to create this Madeira style wine. Enjoy with caramelized onions, blue cheese, nuts and dried fruit.
