Grown in the Columbia Valley east of Washington’s Cascade Mountains, this Viognier is fresh and appealing, with hints of floral fragrance and summery fruit flavors. The wine was barrel fermented but the oak stays politely in the background rather than dominating the scene, adding just a touch of creaminess to the overall palate sensation.
