From the Damiano vineyard in Placer County high in the Sierra Nevada. Picked a bit earlier than most Viogniers and barrel-fermented in mostly neutral French oak. No malo. Intensely perfumed with white flowers and exotic fruits. Round and ripe with refreshing acidity and without the seperate bitterness in the finish that spoils so many Viogniers. Delicate flowery and lenghty aftertaste. Delicious. 2016 vintage. Abv. 13,5 %.

Super fruity with a rich yellow color...tastes buttery almost like a Chardonnay.

We had it a while ago. Saved the bottle because we really enjoyed it. Can't remember any details.
