Description

Rootdown’s 2022 Cole Ranch Savagnin offers a distinctive interpretation of a rare grape variety traditionally associated with France’s Jura region. Grown in Mendocino County’s remarkable Cole Ranch appellation, this small-production white wine combines bright pear and lemon flavors with pronounced mineral character. Its lively acidity creates beautiful tension against a textured, almond-like richness, resulting in an unusually compelling palate. The finish is long and expressive, emphasizing both freshness and complexity. An intriguing discovery for adventurous wine enthusiasts seeking distinctive, terroir-driven California wines beyond familiar grape varieties.
