Walla Walla Viognier typically features a rich flavor profile of stone fruits like peach and apricot, floral notes of honeysuckle, and citrus elements like tangerine. It often has a full body with vibrant acidity and a smooth, sometimes honey-like or toasty finish, with common characteristics including notes of pear, apple, and even tropical fruits.
A tribute to my daughter Adele's love of painting and the arts. Similarly, these grapes were the co-pigmentation muse for the Côte Rôtie inspired Red Mountain Syrah Blend.

Review Comments
"This was the perfect pre-thanksgiving meal wine, it was enjoyed with some cheese and crackers. This may have been the smoothest white wine I have ever tasted, it had fantastic notes of fruitiness that paired beautifully with the acidity of the wine." -Zach S. 11/27/25
"Absolutely blown away by this creamy, delicate wine. Truly this is the best bottle of white wine I’ve ever had and my dad is the winemaker!" -Adele P. 9/12/25
"It could have been that particular evening, but the wine was tasting exceptionally well. It’s great when a wine turns out unexpectantly so strong, we'll see how it develops with bottle aging." -Al P. 9/12/25
