Our 2021 Reserve Viognier is a satisfying balance of energy, weight and delicacy. We find aromas of honeysuckle and jasmine, vanilla bean, ripe lemons, confectioners sugar, herbs, and stones. There is a pleasant symmetry between refreshing acidity and layers of lush polished tannins.
This vintage was pressed whole cluster and then fermented and aged in primarily neutral French oak barrels and a large concrete egg. The glass fills with aromas of sea mist, evening jasmine, subtle perfume, ripe lemon, tangerine twists, and white nectarine.
Lavish honeycomb, ripe white peach and apricot, summer flowers and grasses, and a touch of crème anglaise and baking spice. Texturally, this wine is plush, with considerable breadth and depth, and structured velvet tannins.
Aromas of lemon and grapefruit juice and zest, cut apples, and white flowers dominate the 2022 Spiral, with elements of mixed fresh herbs and wet stones. The texture gives breadth and suppleness through the mid-pallet and finishes with a thirst quenching vibration of acid and tannin.
Aromatically led by peach and nectarine notes and accentuated by blood orange peel, white pepper and oyster shells. On the palette, mirabelle plums, kumquat and lavender are present. The wine has the textural density of red wine and acidic profile of a white. These elements make this wine a dream for food pairings.
Lovely floral red raspberry aromas and pink grapefruit provide a foundation of freshness that is balanced with the warmth of subtle evocations of salt, herbs and vanilla cream. Moderated generosity describes the palate, with guided acidity, rounded layers, and quiet but confident tannins.
