VIE! VIOGNIER – Columbia Valley

VIE!  VIOGNIER – Columbia Valley Wine Details
Price: $17.99 per bottle

Description: Delicate and dry with lively essence of peach, apricot, and fruit tree blossoms. Fruit from nearby Antoine Creek Vineyard and our very own Michaela's Vineyard produce a varietally correct but exceedingly crisp Viognier.

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.
