100% Viognier Appellation Yakima Valley Vineyard Designation Red Willow, Olsen Vineyard
Winemaking Notes - The 2021 viognier is sourced from two distinct sites both in the Yakima Valley AVA: Red Willow vineyard on the far western edge of the AVA and Olsen vineyard on the far eastern edge, close to Red Mountain. The cooler climate and exceptional site at Red Willow produces wines that offer fantastic floral notes and citrus flavors. The warmer climate and great south facing slopes at Olsen produce wines with ripe melon and tropical fruit characteristics. The 2021 viognier spent 6 months being aged in 59% stainless steel, 23% used French oak, 11% new French oak and 7% concrete egg.
