Happy V/day. This wine is an amazing expression of Viognier. Combining finesse and force into a white wine. Recommended.

13' Skipstone Vioginer. It's one of the BEST Vioginer I've ever had out of California!

i was wondering if I should open this.... So happy I did! 2013 Viognier from Skipstone. Alexander Valley fruit. 14.9% alc makes this a HUGE Viognier. It's balanced, with wonderful acidity, and a creamy richness. Meyer Lemon cream pie, if that's a thing.

Rich and unctuous but too oak forward for me.

Faint nose of mineral & white peach, body full, elegant and round with balance of fruit & oak in a California style with long clean finish that yields cravings for more.

Straw color with nose of pear, full body but texture a little rough from the oak; may be better with some age

Happy Vday indeed. Had this at Auberge Du Soleil in Napa for a fabulous lunch. Fruit yes but enough acidity to cut through amazing tomato risotto and fennel nitrate. Not too much peach and apricot but juuuust enough to keep it from astringency. Such a fabulous lunch wine!
