Description:
This 2005 vintage was truly remarkable. Favorable drought conditions at the vineyard produced grapes with very high sugar levels, and expressed the unique varietal character of this grape. This highly aromatic wine provides strong melon flavors that will intensify with aging. This is an excellent wine with turkey, duck, and pork.

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.
