2003 Viognier

Winemaking Notes
Medium depth with straw yellow color. Aromas of honey, peach and apricot. A bright volatile perfumed fruit reminiscent of ripe spatlese or auslese. There are some hints of flint and minerals. Round soft flavors of peach and apricot are balanced with an acidity that keeps the flavors fresh and vibrant. The wine has a rich soft velvety texture. The finish is exceptional; while completely dry, it is round and full with none of the astringency or bitterness that is often associated with this variety. Despite its' alcohol of just 13.7%, the wine can show some heat when served at room temperature.
