91 pts, Wine Enthusiast
2007 Viognier, Steelhead Run Vineyard
 
"Intense flavors jump from the glass, a head-turning swirl of papaya, mango, lime and grapefruit, etched with a little bitter rind, and showing plenty of phenolic bite. The alcohol is under 13%, and the acids really scream out for food."
—P.G., Wine Enthusiast

Winemaker Notes:
A cooler vintage in 2007 allowed for full ripening at lower sugars and higher acids, resulting in a truly sublime Viognier. To play up the fruit and minerality, we reduced the barrel fermentation to a mere 25% in one year old French Oak, but aged on the lees for 6 months follwoing fermentation. Classic melon, stonefruit and pineapple aromas overlay a subtle note of fresh bread.

Aging:
8 months in stainless steel on the yeast lees. 12 months in bottle.

Winemaker Notes:
Aromas of honeydew and cantaloupe melons, papaya, honeysuckle. Flavors of melon and cream puff, nice weight and finish. As is typical with Viognier from Southern Oregon, weight and body is offset by adequate acidity to give nice balance. Extended lies contact gives the wine subtle yeast notes. The wine was aged four months in Stainless Steel and bottled in March 2007.

Aging:
Transferred to Stainless Steel following fermentation, aged on its yeast lies, frequent lies stirring.
