Hailing from the famed Boushey Vineyard, the 2022 Damsel Cellars Marsanne is a joy to drink. Destemmed and fermented in neutral oak and then spending 4 months in stainless steel, this clear/pale yellow wine hits the ground running. With a nose of lily and honeysuckle, it hits the palate with sweetened lemon, mango, and pink grapefruit rind on entry. It is refreshing, clean and well-constructed. Its texture and mouthfeel are quite inviting. With time in the glass, honeydew and cantaloupe appear, and it keeps its verve and youthfulness though the finish. This is a classy wine that lovers of this varietal should enjoy for the next 7 or 8 years.
