Viognier

While the potential for reds was obvious at WeatherEye before the first vines were planted, it’s the whites that have brought the greatest intrigue. Aged nine months in neutral oak with light bâttonage for the first three months, the aromas here offer initially subdued notes of honeysuckle, jasmine, fresh and dried herb, and white peach. The stone fruit flavors bring intensity and focus while remaining exquisitely balanced. The finish sails. It’s a complete standout offering of this variety.

More of a whisper than a shout, but with much to say, the 2021 Viognier WeatherEye Vineyard High Canyon Series blossoms with raw almond, white flowers and candied ginger, complementing vivid apricot and lime aromas. Silky and enveloping, this washes across the palate in creamy textural waves showing ripe orchard fruits and candied citrus tones. The 2021 becomes mineral through the finale, leaving the mouth watering as savory spice nuances slowly fade. This is an outstanding interpretation of Viognier from one of the Red Mountains' most exciting locations.
