Description:
Our 2006 Viognier is fresh and inviting, offering delicate floral aromas of honeysuckle and orange blossom typical of this varietal. Blended with 18% Roussanne, this wine is bursting with layers of apricot and melon with a hint of kiwi before a crisp, clean finish.

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.
