Arger-Martucci Vineyards Viognier |
2006 Viognier St. Helena
The 2006 Viognier represents a significant change from our other vintages. The Viognier vines around the winery were removed in 2002 and the vineyard was replanted. While we harvested only a partial crop, the grapes were combined with our Russian River sourced grapes. The wine was then blended with 1% Muscat and 2% Gewürztraminer to give a wonderful balance and excellent acidity. The result is a wine that “jumps out of the glass.” The bouquet is an incredible blend of honeysuckle with the characteristic peaches and melon traditionally found in great Viognier. The wine is very crisp, yet rich on the palate with a dry finish. The flavors of intense melon and peach follow through on the palate. We believe this is our best Viognier ever from Arger-Martucci—a great wine to start a meal or simply sip on the veranda. |
