Late Harvest Viognier Sustainably Farmed
94 James Suckling
Dessert anyone? What’s mind blowing about this wine is the balance between sweetness and how vibrant it is.
A vibrant medium gold in color, with explosive aromatics of dried peaches, ripe apricots, and tangerines (like Cuties) and just a kiss of creamy vanilla. A totally off-the-charts front palate that carries through to an absolutely stunning mid-palate and long finish, whose flavors are a total reflection of its aromas. What’s mind blowing about this wine is the balance between sweetness, (which it has in abundance), and how vibrant it is. This late harvest wine is for the now, but I feel will become more sensual over the next 5 - 10 years.
The blend: 100% Viognier; Low alcohol at 11% and packaged in a 375 mL bottle. In the Cohn Zone: drink now - 2033.
A rich, viscous, honeyed, ultra-rich and concentrated dessert wine that was barrel fermented. Sweet, floral, peachy, toasty and creamy. Toasted almonds, tangerines, orange zest and again, honey on the palate and lingering finish. Light-bodied. Drink now or hold for as long as you want.
