Viognier is such an exciting white wine, and it finds a wonderful
expression here in our estate vineyard. It's always a challenge
to decide when to pick Viognier, especially since we're looking
for fully ripe flavors. It requires patience to let the grapes
hang on the vine, turning from a greenish tinted color to a fully
ripe, luscious, translucent yellow. That's the point at which
the fruit expresses all the exotic character that makes Viognier
unique. In 2003, we harvested our ripest Viognier to date.
Estate Vineyard Block: North facing Viognier block
14.1 % alcohol
Price: $20
Cases Produced: 147
Tasting Note: Honey, orange peel, pears, and apricots give
a ripe impression to the aromas. The flavors follow suit, with
subtle juiciness, smokiness and minerals, with a nice sense of
richness and acidity that pulls all of the flavors together.
It's definitely a complex white wine!
