The Spiral is a thoughtfully composed blend of our estate’s white varieties: Viognier, Marsanne, and Roussanne. Its aim is to present the freshest expression of each selection, woven together with bright aromatics and a lively, acid-driven mouthfeel.
Although modest in size, our Viognier blocks are planted across a diverse range of soils and microclimates. The 2023 Viognier was whole-cluster pressed, then fermented and aged in mostly neutral oak barriques with a couple of new French oak puncheons.
The 2022 Reserve Viognier endeavors to encompass the most elegant and timeless expression of this noble variety from our site. With a balance of ripe citrus and stone fruits aromas, subtle and alluring floral notes, it possesses an unique energy, depth and a lasting memorable finish.

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.
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.
