A rich and honeyed Viognier that shows solid varietal character on the nose and in the mouth, with palate coating viscosity driving the stone fruit and spice through an almost candied finish. There’s an elegance here worth investigating. You’ll be hearing more from this sub-appellation as more wineries join the party. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
