Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
Our 2003 Viognier was hand harvested from the Fralich Vineyard (62%) and the Chequera Vineyard (38%). The Fralich Vineyard gives the wine its intense floral and dried apricot aroma while the Chequera Vineyard contributes the depth and structure of the wine. This wine should be served chilled and is excellent by itself as an aperitif or with Asian fusion cuisine. Sushi!

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.
