Tasting Notes:  An aromatic, Rhône Valley-inspired varietal, the 2012 Ma(i)sonry Napa Valley Marsanne expresses a fragrant nose of butterscotch, ripe apple, and peach with wet rock minerality. Beautifully structured with subtle French oak characteristics, the nose evolves with time in glass. On the palate, rich notes of cantaloupe and melon carry on to the bright, refreshing finish. Drink now or cellar over the next five years.

Winemaker's Notes: Crafted by the Blackbird Vineyards' winemaking team, this limited-production wine is as richly textured as each of Ma(i)sonry's timeless art and design collections. Sourced from Stagecoach Vineyard - where rocky, volcanic soil meets the Southern edge of Pritchard Hill - the 2012 Ma(i)sonry Marsanne offers optimum fruit character and pedigree.
