Viognier "Santa Ynez Valley" 2010

Winemaker’s Notes:

“This is a brand new addition to the Cold Heaven line-up.  The clonal selection, “R”, gets its’ name from Rousanne, which for many years it was thought to be and was propagated as in a few California vineyards.  We love it because it holds its balance in a warm climate and gives us the fresh, lively style we strive to make.  This wine has classic viognier flavors, balanced and elegant, lush but not overly dense.  White pepper, ripe pear, mineral, pineapple, kiwi, and vanilla dominate what we like to call Viognier 101.”
