2009 Viognier

Winemaking Notes
The fruit for our 2008 Viognier was harvested on September16, 2009. The majority of fruit came from our own Estate Vineyards and averaged 26.7 Brix at harvest. The juice was cold fermented in Stainless Steel to retain the unique fruit characteristics of Viognier.

Tasting Notes

The 2009 Viognier is medium straw in color with aromas of Peach, Apricot and hints of flinty citrus.Pears, Apples and Melon flavors are accompanied by a rich mouth feel, nice acid balance and a clean finish. We are happy to announce that the 2009 Viognier is sealed with a Stelvin Lux Screw Cap. The Stelvin Lux is a top of the line enclosure that gives the appearance of a bottle with a cork finish, but with screw cap ease. Just twist it off.
