Sun Box Eleven a Miami Based Winery

The Maverick, Marsanne Roussanne Russian river Valley, 2007

This classic white Rhone blend, rarely found in California, 50% Marsanne and 50% Roussanne co-fermented in the barrel, only 600 bottles produced.
Brilliant, gold color, aromas of coconut, vanilla and apricot, well balanced acidity. Definitely waiting to taste the next vintage of this great wine.
Good Value for a small boutique winery, price around $35. Next vintages will come even more price competitive keeping the same quality.
I had the chance to taste this wine with Chef Superdave Gordon and Sunny, so the pairing will be grilled Sea Bass or Miso Black Cod, can be paired also with seared scallops in a light creamy sauce.
