Description:
This very aromatic Viognier clone, grown on a small 4 acre vineyard in Santa Ynez, yielded an outstanding wine in 2004. It was entirely cold fermented for exceptional character and bottled young in March, 2005. Subtle nuances of apricot, honey, and grapefruit are apparent in this spicy, lively wine. Enjoy with Asian foods or rich poultry.

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.
