Description: The ancient Rhone Valley varital Viognier has shown great promise in the soils and climate of the Snake River Valley. and we proudly offer our second vintage of this exciting new varietal. Floral aromas and flavors reminiscent of apricots and white peaches make this delightful wine enjoyable chilled by itself or with light appetizers, seafood and delicate pasta.

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.
