DETAILS
Tasting Note
Another lovely example of how drinkable and fresh Viognier can be when picked early to preserve its floral honeysuckle character. The addition of 22% Grenache Blanc adds a bit of lively acidity and texture but also widens the aromatics with some peach and apricot pit. Drink now and often!
Vintage Note
2019 was the year of water and fire. Record-breaking late winter rainfall was followed by a cool spring. A cool to average summer allowed for the development of full flavors, fresh acidity, and great balance in the wines. Our grapes were picked and our wines finished with fermentation by the time the Kincade Fire started on October 23 and barely missed the farm a few days later. Phew!
