2022 Viognier
Viognier is back from a bit of a hiatus, thanks to bountiful yields in 2022 that produced evenly ripe, balanced fruit. Our barrel-fermented offering shows a classic, perfumed nose of peaches, melon, and a bouquet of honeyed white flowers like jasmine, chamomile, and citrus blossoms. Apricot and citrus flavors show along with fascinating texture in the mouth, as the wine fills and coats the palate yet remains buoyant and lively. The textural showcase closes out with a bit of welcome grip that frames a quenching, dense finish. --GH
