Marsanne is one of two Rhone varieties grown among a bevy of Bordeaux grapes in the Buttonwood Farm vineyard. While interest in all of the Rhone varieties is increasing and Santa Barbara County has blazed the trail in production of wines produced from these remarkable grapes, Buttonwood remains one of the few California wineries to procuce this unique white wine. Buttonwood 2008 Marsanne is a delicate beauty. Subtle flavors of honey, pear and spice tease the taste buds while the light body an pleasantly tart finish make it a fine accompaniment with many first course dishes. Serve Marsanne with butternut squash soup drizzled with cream and sprinkled with cumin.
