Description:
This is the fourth vintage from vines that have produced rich, aromatic wine. Vinted by award-winning winemaker Mark Friszolowski this Viognier hints of White Peach, Honeydew Melon and ripe Canteloupe.
This Viognier is abundantly floral, and bursts with aromas of honeysuckle and gardenias. An incredible acid balance allows some limestone notes to dance on the 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.
