McKahn Family Cellars, founded in 2014, focuses on site-specific, Rhône variety wines. Their Viognier is sourced from Catie’s Corner, a certified sustainable and fish friendly farming certified site. Viognier originates from the Northern Rhône where it is made on steep slopes just south of Lyon in France. McKahn’s Viognier shows fresh melon, pear, wax, white blossom, and nectarine but also has clove and vanilla notes that provide complexity and depth. This is a great bottle and a textbook example of American Viognier.
