From Santa Barbara County wine region, Fess Parker Marcella's 2017 is a bright and zesty Viognier-driven blend with some Grenache Blanc and Roussanne added to the mix. Nicely rounded, medium-bodied with white florals, apricot, finishing long and silky on the palate. Pour with grilled chicken or pork tenderloin dishes.

Marcella's White food pairings: calamari, fried fish cakes, smoked fish, salads.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Lovely! Aromas of white floral, golden apple, peach, and nectarine, with hints of ginger and stony minerality. Light bodied, with bright acdity, and a nice balance of ripe stone and citrus fruit, warm spicy notes, and saline minerality. Perfect to enjoy with any seafood or fresh fish.

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.
