Wine Details
Price:
$33.00 per bottle
Description:
This wine was made from the first crop of newly grafted vines on our Slope 23. Very low yield resulted in an amazing wine, worthy of being bottled separately as a first release of a ‘Première Cuvée’ of this variety. Very pale straw color. Heady bouquet of ripe tropical and citrus fruits (guava, grapefruit) and spices. Full and concentrated on the palate, viscous, mouth-coating. Deep ripe flavors of exotic tropical fruits, oriental spices, and minerals. Very persistent finish.

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.
