"A full bodied, ripely flavored, supple Viognier, with distinct character (peach, honeysuckle, apple), and a long finish. Great value."

Production Notes:
The 2008 growing season did not provide the most ideal of growing conditions for some grape varieties. With two severe frosts, one at the beginning of the growing season, and one during harvest, grape set and yields were down for many regions of the state. However, Viognier, with the crop slightly down, proved to have a better than average year and we were able to craft a wonderfully delightful wine.

Food Pairing:
Beautifully balanced and full of flavor, enjoy this wine with shellfish or fettuccini with clam sauce.
