Winemaker’s Notes: This estate-grown Viognier captures the gorgeous perfume and rich, lush flavors of this classic Northern Rhône Valley white. Bright, fresh and complex, it offers honeysuckle, jasmine, apricot, pineapple and allspice aromas and a lush, creamy texture. Mouthfilling flavors of ripe peach, apricot and pineapple pick up a zesty spice tone in mid-palate, enlivening the wine's long, dry, flavorful finish.
