Our Ineseño (the name refers to people native to Santa Ynez) is a blend of 60% roussanne and 40% viognier. The wine is layered with tangerine, pome fruit, cashew, and salt, herbs de Provence, and hints of honeycomb and anise. The palate is impeccably balanced with the innate richness of both varietals offering a supple mid palate framed by persistent acidity bringing freshness and length. Aged in 100% French oak, 15% new, in both large format (400L) puncheon and barrique (228L)
