Wine Review:
2022 Peay Vineyards Estate Viognier
The cooler growing conditions create a unique Viognier by American or even Rhône standards. It is a fleshy Viognier laced with smoky flint, lemon verbena, and green apple aromatics. The palate has a pulsating energy, with peach skin flavors and bright notes of crushed slate. While the minerality rules the day, plenty of lean apple and grilled lemon peel carry the wine through.
