91 Jeb Dunnuck - The Rhone Report

"The 2008 Miner Family Marsanne La Diligence Stagecoach Vineyard is 100% Marsanne that was aged for 7 months in 40% French oak. It possesses a light gold color as well as beautifully rich, full aromas of buttered peaches and subtle tropical notes that are supported by underlying toast, honeycomb, vanilla, and mineral aromas. Fresh and lively on the palate, with medium+ body, a plush, smooth texture, vibrant acidity and a clean finish, this is an outstanding white that is delicious on its own, as well as extremely versatile on the dinner table. I have no idea how this will age, but to be on the safe side, I would lean towards drinking over the next 2 to 4 years."
