Dominio IV "Still Life" Viognier 2010

Review:

Sometimes fruit is simply found on the table. At other times it is purposefully placed. Peaches are cut half open. Their white cores clutch their pitted stones. A scrolling lemon peel and a spotted pear have found their place in a perfect "Still Life". On one hand there is the desire to feel the flesh of the fruit,and on the other, the intrinsic beauty of still life. - the winery

The 500-case Dominio IV Winery is the unique vision of Leigh Bartholomew, vineyard manager for Archery Summit, and her husband, Patrick Reuter, whose masters thesis at the University of California, Davis, was on terroir. The vineyard is located in the Oregon side of the Columbia Gorge, near The Dalles.
