2006 Denner Theresa

An excellent white is the 2006 Theresa, a blend of 73% Roussanne and 27% Viognier. Aromas reminiscent of a spring flower garden are found in this medium to full-bodied effort along with excellent fruit, an exotic smoky component, and a long, dry, authoritative finish. Drink it over the next 1-3 years. Denner Vineyards is still under the radar, but is undoubtedly an up-and-coming source for good Rhone Ranger offerings. And why shouldn’t it be as its vineyards are situated just across the street from the fabulous grand cru site of Saxum’s James Berry Vineyard. Tel. (805) 239-4287; Fax (805) 239-0154
