Our 2001 Viognier sold out very quickly. Fortunately, the 2002 vintage was a cooperative wine in the cellar and is ready for release. The feedback we often receive from fans of our Viognier is, "We love it, what makes it taste so unique?" We believe it's due to our high elevation site which retains the grape's natural acidity, our granitic soil which gives the wine a sense of minerality, and our refusal to clobber the wine with new oak. Essentially, we make a very traditional Viognier ­ whole cluster pressed, barrel fermented, and aged sur-lie in neutral French oak barrels.

Estate Vineyard Block: North facing Viognier block

14.5% alcohol

Price: $20

Cases Produced: 200

Tasting Note: We want the fruit and our special vineyard site to do the talking ­and does this wine talk! The nose is full of aromas of white peaches and limes, and the mouth has rich texture, a touch of minerality, and balanced acidity. It tastes delightful right now, but will continue to develop complexity with a little age.
