2022 Viognier, Landa Vineyards
92 Points - Wine Advocate; Double Gold - San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
The nose is pleasantly greeted by delicate aromatics of honeysuckle and peaches and a touch of flint. The palate is medium-bodied with loads of stone fruits, and mango leading to a bright, acid-driven and long, mineral-laced finish.
Vineyard Notes
Our Viognier comes from the Landa Vineyard located at the base of the Mayacamas Mountains in the Sonoma Valley Appellation just a mile east of the Sonoma Plaza. This site consistently produces high-quality Viognier grapes known for their floral aromas, flint-like flavors, and natural acidity. These grapes also lend a fleshy, rich texture to the wine.
Winemaker’s Notes
Overall the 2022 vintage kicked off earlier than average and despite a heatwave in September that kept us on our toes, the quality was very good. For this Viognier we acheived full flavor while retaining our hallmark acidity. It’s a lovely wine to sip on its own or to enjoy with Thai cuisine.
