Wysling Band of Sisters – A Beautiful Rhone Blend

By: Jon Thorsen Last Updated: December 10, 2016

2012-Wysling-Band-of-Sisters
Another extremely satisfying wine from Parejas Cellars.

BULK BUY!

55% Marsanne, 34% Rousanne and 11% Grenache Blanc from Columbia Valley, Washington.

SRP of $16 and available for as low as $14 thanks to a special discount for Reverse Wine Snob readers from Parejas Cellars (see below). 201 cases produced. Sample submitted for review.

From the winery:

“Co-fermentation & blending of 2 separate lots/vineyards has created an amazing dry full-bodied wine of elegance and power. 55% Marsanne/34% Roussanne/11% Grenache Blanc all “band” together to reveal exotic & refreshing perfumed aromas of spiced herbal tea, spring blossoms, Asian pears, greengages, and honeysuckle! All these aromatics follow thru to the palate creating an incredible rich mouth-feel that continuously pleases with or without food!

13.2%”

Today’s wine is the second we’ve sampled from Parejas Cellars in Yakima Valley, Washington and the first white. And just the like the excellent red blend we sampled previously (Parejas Cellars Tres Rojas de Mesa 2008 – Fabulously Tasty) this one hits it out of the park.

The 2012 Wysling Band of Sisters begins with a very pleasant aroma of tropical fruit, minerals, honeysuckle and some intriguing herbal notes. Tasting reveals a beautiful, dry, fruit and mineral filled palate. Tropical fruit, pears, spicy minerals, a wonderful texture and great balance make for an extremely satisfying wine. All these flavors flow into the long finish. A beautiful Rhone blend!

Buy this wine direct from Parejas Cellas and mention The Reverse Wine Snob in your phone or email order to receive 15% off any size order! You can also still receive 15% off the Tres Rojas de Mesa red we reviewed earlier. Or see a listing of local retailers selling this wine here.
