Veritas Vineyard
Monticello Viognier
Monticello, Central Region, Virginia, USA
Before anything I’m compelled to admit my bias and admiration for Veritas Vineyards. I love the place. And with that out of the way, I’m going to describe my experience with the ‘15 Viognier as I experienced it. No fancy words or “miraculously subtle” sorts of “mandatory praise” that one often comes across when they like what they try. The nose of the ‘15 Veritas Viognier brings about that warm feeling on your shoulders of a sunny day, out in the meadow. The exquisite approach and palate imbue the very essence of spring water in summer- round, lush and satisfying for a long, long way. The juicy finish succinctly acts as a juicy, last look and reflection of that gorgeous, borderline resplendent day in the sun that you NEEDED. As a proper & fitting coda, and as an element that only further drew me into this gorgeously-simple experience- it was a twist-off... which truly and most genuinely completed this wine’s perfection, for tonight.

Jan 15th, 2020A stunning example of what can go right in Crozet.
On the nose it’s a fresh breeze, and on the palate it evolves into a simply beautiful example of what Viognier can be, from a year that wasn’t always easy along the Atlantic Coast. Just because of what it is, it’s become a favorite of mine. So, if ya please; let’s keep it between us.

Smooth, bright floral citrus nose, medium body with an incredibly light and balanced oak profile
