2019 / White
2019 VIOGNIER
Viognier’s rich texture, aromas of ripe stone fruit, citrus, tropical fruit, and haunting floral perfume have taken this traditional northern Rhône variety from near extinction in the 1960s to a popular variety in the New World. Paso Robles, with its Rhône influence, has been a new refuge for this grape, and the 2019 Viognier is an appealing expression of this variety’s potential. Its full-bodied, drier style, mouth-filling texture, and long finish have made this wine a favorite, especially for wine drinkers who normally don’t venture into the white zone.

Tasting notes
Appearance: Clear, bright, pale lemon color with moderate plus viscosity and thick, slow forming tears.
Aroma: Very aromatic with rich, ripe stone fruit, Meyer lemon, yellow apple, white flowers, with subtle toasty barrel notes.
Palate: Dry, full-bodied, round and rich on the palate with ripe apricot, peach, lemon and Meyer lemon on entry with attractive floral accents. Very subtle toasty oak and light baking spice leads the mid-palate showing fruit cocktail with savory cereal notes as the palate progresses. The finish is moderately long and very textured with lemon, tropical fruit and just a hint of barrel influence.
Food pairings
Viognier is famously one of the better wines to pair with all sorts of cheeses. It also pairs nicely with rich seafood dishes like scallops or crab cakes. Try it with a Thanksgiving dinner to find out how versatile this wine really is.
