Big Basin Vineyards 2017 Roussanne: A Santa Cruz Mountains Treasure

Discover the essence of California’s Santa Cruz Mountains with Big Basin Vineyards’ 2017 Roussanne—a white wine that embodies elegance, purity, and terroir-driven character. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this vintage showcases the unique expression of Roussanne grapes grown in one of California’s most revered appellations.

Aromatic & Flavor Profile:
From the first pour, your senses are greeted with delicate white floral notes, a hint of Meyer lemon zest, and an intriguing wet stone minerality that lingers on the nose. On the palate, these flavors harmonize beautifully, offering a crisp, refreshing experience without any overpowering oak influence. The result? A wine that highlights the pure essence of fruit and stone, thanks to its clay amphora fermentation and aging—a technique that amplifies its natural vibrancy and texture.

Why This Wine Stands Out:
Unlike many white wines that rely on oak barrels for complexity, this Roussanne lets the grape and terroir shine. Its 13.2% ABV ensures a balanced, approachable finish, making it perfect for sipping on its own or pairing with light seafood dishes, creamy cheeses, or fresh salads. Whether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or exploring new varietals, this 2017 Roussanne offers a distinctive taste of Santa Cruz Mountains’ cool-climate sophistication.

Perfect For:
– Wine collectors seeking rare, terroir-focused expressions
– Those who appreciate minimalist winemaking with maximum flavor
– Special occasions or everyday enjoyment
