Wine Family: The Classics
Tasting Notes:
Wonderfully aromatic, with violets, dusty clay pot, and some earthiness. The palate is loaded with herbal tomato leaf, liquorice, black olive brine. Fine cherry tomatoes. Black cherries. A fresh acidity, but very well integrated into the wine. Mellow and velvety with soft tannins. A lovely long lingering finish.
Behind the Name:
In 2006, Chester added a small parcel of Roussanne to The Stump Jump White. A wine journalist described him as a 'wild pixie' for concocting such a crazy blend. Taking that as a compliment, Chester went on to make an even more audacious blend with Roussanne, this time combining it with Shiraz.
