Description:
Excerpt from Oregon Wine Review – Cole Danehower:
…“Sweet pear essence—that’s what this wine is all about: big and juicy, with a just-picked-off-the-tree and squeezed-in-your-mouth, pure fruit quality that is at once refreshing and warming—it reminds me of a Clear Creek Distillery (Portland, Oregon) pear eau de vie… but with sweetness.

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.
