Description:
Our 2004 Late Harvest Viognier is a luscious wine, with an enticing orange/lemon honeysuckle bouquet and the flavor of fresh, ripe peaches. It is a complex dessert wine with about 3.5% residual sugar . The
grapes were picked at 26.5° Brix and bottled at 2.2° Brix. Wonderful with fruit desserts (fresh peach pie, key lime, lemon or butter cookies), fruit salad, or just by itself.

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.
