Description:
Our 2002 Viognier begins with white floral notes, pear, and honeysuckle on the nose. The mouthfeel is rich with melon, honey, and ripe peach, finishing with subtle toasted oak and vanilla flavors. This is an outstanding expression of this variety.

Varietal Definition
Viognier:
The most acclaimed white wine grape from France's Rhône Valley, Viognier is a highly aromatic varietal, with a flavor profile that could include peach, apricot, nectarine, lichee, musk and flower blossom. The heady perfume of this varietal is one of its trademarks, although its flavors are sometimes problematic in matching with food. However, it does well with lobster, crab and moderately flavored fish. Use it as an apéritif as an alternative to Chardonnay. The "Rhône Rangers" in California have done an excellent job promoting this varietal.
