2022 VIOGNIER
In Stock
Tasting Notes
100% Viognier
The expressive 2022 Viognier leads with focused floral and peach aromas. The palate opens with citrus zest, followed by guava and honeydew on the mid-palate. Full of refreshing acidity, the mouthfeel perfectly integrates the neutral and new oak with the addition of concrete egg for an unforgettably enjoyable finish.

Winemaker Notes
Our Viognier is sourced from two distinct sites in the Yakima Valley: Red Willow vineyard on the far western edge of the AVA and Olsen vineyard on the far eastern edge, close to Red Mountain. The cooler climate and exceptional site at Red Willow produces wines that offer
fantastic floral notes and citrus flavors. The warmer climate and great south facing slopes at Olsen produce wines with ripe melon and tropical fruit characteristics. Aged for 6 months in 82% used French oak, 10% new French oak, and 8% concrete egg for the perfect balance of clean aromatics and exceptional mouthfeel.
