Drinking Window: 2021 - 2022
Unoaked Viognier is unusual for California, but it’s good to see this wine’s peachy character fully expressed. The brand is owned by Delicato and made in Lodi but still retains its freshness, even as a 2018. A gently charming wine you could sip on its own or drink, as they suggest, with chicken curry or grilled scallops.
