2005 Viognier:
Here is Viognier in its pure state - made in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation, with grapes from the Willard vineyard in Prosser, Wash. It manages to capture Viognier's tricky balance of intense nectar fruit, bright acidity and a lean, refreshing profile, though it's a bigger wine than it initially lets on.
