Marsanne is an increasingly popular white grape variety probably originating in the northern Rhone region of France. It is earning itself a reputation as a full bodied, characterful varietal, or blending partner for more aromatic, acid varieties such as Roussanne & Viognier. The 1998 Horton Marsanne is medium colored, full bodied, aromatic, lush, with a long tropical finish with a hint of almonds throughout.
