Artisanal Wine Cellars Viognier 09

2007 Vintage Tasting Notes

A combination of warm climate fruit from Crawford Vineyard in Prosser, WA and cool climate fruit from Le Beau Vine- yard in Sherwood, OR. This com- bination brings forward the clas- sic Viognier nose along with a lovely minerality. Boasting a higher percentage of Oregon fruit in 2007, this Viognier has subtle notes of peach, fresh green grass, and hints of anise and gin- ger. Frequent lees stirring has resulted in a rich texture and a very luscious mouth-feel. (Screwcap) - the winery
