Arrowood, Viognier, Russian River Valley, Saralee's Vyd. 2006

Pale straw, slight haze (unfiltered?).

Extremely fine, subtle, aromas of peach/apricot/pear, lychee candy.

Round with absolutely delicious flavors of perfectly ripe pear and apricot. Nice acid edge frames everything unobtrusively, and keeps any sense of overt sweetness in check. Really beautiful stuff. And I was worried that it might be over the hill...
This bottle is going down tonight.


$25. Gift from the Padres. Always a family favorite.
