"Originally grown in the Condrieu and Chateau-Grillet regions of northern Rhone, Fred Cline first planted Viognier in his Sonoma vineyards in 1990. Sensitive to its surroundings, vineyard managers must keep a watchful eye. Grapes are late ripening and have to be picked at just the right moment. Cline's Viognier offers rich and distinctive aromas of peaches, apricots, orange blossoms and honeysuckle. Drink within 2 to 3 years and serve slightly chilled." -Winery

The deep red-purplecolor explodes and fascinates each time it is poured into a glass. The cracked black pepper aromascomplement the black cherry fruitiness of this vintage and make it a greatmatch for grilled salmon and sauteed vegetables served over pasta.
