Description:
The 2000 Viognier Fralich Vineyard reveals the varietal's exotic, tropical, apricot and peach fruit. Well defined with an underpinning of minerals (something that is hard to achieve in the varietal in California), it will drink well for 1 - 2 years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.- The Wine Advocate

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.
