Cedarville Vineyard
Viognier
El Dorado County, Sierra Foothills, California, USA
Very slight reduction gives this wine a very French character. Perfect with paella.

I’m finicky when it comes to this variety so I tend to shy away from it. Well, after a few minutes with this nice offering from Cedarville I might be more trusting. At $20 it’s not designed to wow, but it’s clean and refreshing and a pleasure to drink. Good acid and texture bring you back for more. Its 14.3% abv isn’t hot on the finish but a glass or two will certainly warm you up.

A bit reduced initially, some SO2 aromatically, medium-bodied, closed and not as mineral as the 2017, needs aeration.

Jun 26th, 2020Dedicated to our dear, dear friend, Susan Marks, who we miss dearly — RIP. We have been purchasing this lovely, mineral-infused Viognier since the early 2000s from Susan and Jonathan, my favorite California Viognier year in and year out, crisp, clean, showing some lovely stone fruit notes this vintage, just wonderful as always.
