MILBRANDT VINEYARDS
Estates 2007 Viognier, Washington State
Washington State is one of those rare places on earth capable of producing great wines from both warm- and cool-climate varieties. Our mild climate, large diurnal temperature swings and extended sunlight hours during the summer months allow grapes to ripen slowly and evenly. We also have a mix of ancient and young soils that bring character and personality to all of our wines. The Estates Viognier features grapes from three of our estate vineyards. Our Evergreen Vineyard, located in the newly emerging Ancient Lakes region, imparts refinement and structure. The Clifton and Don Talcott vineyards, in the Wahluke Slope AVA, contribute tropical scents and viscosity.
Viognier is responsible for many of the Rhone Valley's greatest wines. It produces a wide array of styles ranging from thick, mouth-filling and exotic to crisp, fresh and fruity. Our 2007 The Estates Viognier offers traits from both camps. The bouquet is laced with apricots, jasmine, kumquat and orange blossoms. It is full bodied with an oily texture supported by refreshing acidity. This is the perfect wine to serve with spicy or strongly flavored foods.
