2022 Valdemar Roussane, Walla Walla, Washington

The 2022 ‘Columbia Valley’ comes from the acclaimed Olsen and Gamache Vineyards. Right away the Roussanne offers lovely melon and nutty tones on the nose alongside stony accents. The palate is bright and seamless with plenty of mouth-watering acidity. The combination of finesse ands weight really move this melon and citrus fruit-driven wine that is already drinking beautifully now. Drink 2023-2030- 92

For years the Walla Walla Valley held its breath as one of the giants from Rioja invested in a piece of land near Pepper Bridge. This was going to be the place for what is now without a doubt one of the Pacific Northwest’s most beautiful wineries to visit.
