I am not very familiar with straight Marsanne, usually only seeing it in blends. JC Cellars did a reasonable job with this one. While I appreciate the wine, I find myself enjoying low acid grapes/wines less and less.
2005 JC Cellars, Marsanne, Preston Vineyard, Dry Creek Valley, California, $32. Sporting a medium gold color, the nose speaks of melons, toasted nuts and crème brulee. Soft and creamy in the mouth, the wine shows nice complexity and a dose of minerals, with relatively low acidity characteristic of the grape; 88/87.
