Garnier Vineyards, Columbia Gorge AVA
Hand-harvested and Neutral Barrel Fermented
100% Viognier
This rare bottling of Columbia Gorge Viognier is a delicate expression of the kaleidoscopic flavors that Viognier produces during fermentation. On the nose, there are subtle hints of honeysuckle, apricot, and dry straw warming in the sun. On the palate, this Viognier is clean and crisp with hints of lemon balm and peach stone. The reputation of Viognier has risen and fallen depending on the wine-making fashions of the day. Some are sweet, waxy, unctuous, even leaning into bitter on the palate. We prefer the light, clean, and flavorful Viognier you hold in your hands.
Pairs with ripe cheese or get adventurous and enjoy it with Pad Kee Mao (Thai Drunken Noodles).
