Fruity nose of citrus, apples, lemons, light flowers, pears, light earth and light spices.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with lemons, green apples, grapefruits, bitter herbs, spices, earth and light oak.

This 4 year old Single Vineyard Viognier from Russian River Valley is drinking very nicely now. Fruit forward and rich. Nicely balanced and elegant with nice complexity.
I had it 2 years ago and decided to give it a few years in the bottle to mature properly. It is drinking better now, and at its peak.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.
Viognier grapes were aged on the lees for 6 months in neutral oak barrels. A small production of only 2,100 bottles.
13.9% alcohol by volume.

This is a very tasty Viognier from Russian River Valley. Rich and fruit forward.
Well balanced with nice complexity. Buttery and spicy.
Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 2 years and see how it evolves.

McKahn Family Cellars has a real gem with this Viognier, 2021. With a very nice low profile, grapefruit and lemon bouquet, this beautiful white wine tantalizes the tongue with Licorice and grapefruit. There is also a hint of green Apple in there. There is an oaky finish with a lingering tartness that drives you to take another sip. I’m not a real big white wine drinker, but for the hot summertime, this chilled on ice is a fantastic wine I highly recommend.

Inviting citrus and floral notes on the nose. A rich texture on the palate with flavors of honeysuckle and stone fruits. This was a pleasant and refreshing white that went well with our grilled trout and roasted brussels sprouts. 100% Viognier. 4/24/22.
