2022 Viognier - Sugarloaf Vineyard
The wine that might have inspired the whole "swirl and sniff" thing - beautifully aromatic in a way that few other wines are. Smells sweet but isn't.

Tasting notes
The nose on this wine does something remarkable: it starts out mild, and then builds in intensity as you continue to breathe it into your nose. It’s filled with fresh and zesty notes like limes, fruit blossoms and other white flowers, plus subtle notes of fresh herbs, as though someone is standing on the other side of the kitchen from you chopping a board full of rosemary, parsley and basil that makes you sniff deeply and say “ooh, what’s that, it smells good?” but they won’t tell you and the blend is mysterious. In the mouth the hints of fresh herbs accent mouthwatering flavors of white peach, nectarine, Seckel pear and lemon.
