there is a lovely balance to this viognier, and a sense that these cool-climate grapes were not pushed too far. the winemaker, happily, chose to make the wine that the vineyard gave her. delicate and layered, with paper-thin suggestions of citrus rind, grapefruit and white peach. still tightly knit, this wine very slowly unwinds long after you've swallowed that first sip or two.
