The aromas are earthy, floral and enticing, while the palate is uncommonly fresh and snappy. This 2021 bottling flaunts fragrances of white jasmine and honeysuckle, along with an earthy vineyard character, showing streaks of dusty minerality, walnuts and fennel. The palate opens with a crack of minerality then expands into broad textures laced with flavors of green pluot, honeycomb, and tangerine. It closes out with a zesty finish that’s laced with crunchy minerality and spicy notes of galangal and anise. Rich and racy, it’s a Viognier that sings with food. It’s perfect with peaches and burrata, and hearty braises.
