| Winemaker’s Notes: | Complex and beautifully balanced, our 2010 Viognier displays strongly floral, honey-laden aromas of ripe peach, orange blossom, papaya, and citrus zest. Luscious on the palate, the fruit is balanced by a firm underlying acidity and refreshingly minerality. Delicious now for drinking with white fish, lobster, crab, and Asian foods, it will develop even greater richness and aromatic complexity with another 2-3 years of bottle age. |
