Spring Vio bottling
Finally got the '07 Viognier into the bottle ... 7 cases, and not a
moment too soon - last years' Marsanne / Vio blend ran out just the other day. She-who-must-be-obeyed was starting to chirp about lack of sufficient white wine in the cabinet. The grapes came in with pretty typical Cali Vio numbers - Brix - 25 TA - 6.6 g/L pH - 3.45 (!!) Grapes came from the Fair Play AVA. No MLF, but we did put the wine on oak (Chain - French medium) for the last 3 to 4 months. The nose is ambrosia. Classic Vio ... honeysuckle, passionfruit, orange blossoms. Surprisingl good acid across the palate .. and a lo-o-o-o-o-ng, warm finish. Only disappointment with this wine - shoulda made more!
