2023 K Vintners Viognier Art Den Hoed Vineyard, USA, Washington, Yakima Valley, Wine Review

Light silvery/gold with some green hues in color, clear and bright. The nose is steely with lemon rind, slight peach and a slight floral note. Medium to full bodied. Lovely oily texture. On the palate, flavors of lemons, oranges and a slight honey/waxy note. Some heat on the finish. This is drinking quite well now. Stylistically, somewhere between a full on California Viognier and a Northern Rhone wine. Drink over the next five years. Nice on its own but better with food. This would be very nice with Moroccan Couscous with meat or fruit.

Viognier for Spring

I realized that I was in a red wine rut a few years ago and made a practice to try unfamiliar white wines at tastings. I quickly discovered Viognier, a medium bodied white wine, perfumed with apricots, peaches and white flowers. This stuff is amazing - delicate, yet heady; I can sit for hours just enjoying the aroma. The taste is a revelation – the silky smooth texture hits first, then the fruit and flowers explode. It’s quite wonderful.

2015 K Vintners Syrah The Beautiful, USA, Washington, Walla Walla, Wine Review

Grade:

This is 97% Syrah with 3% viognier cofermented from the Powerline Vineyard. This drinks in the style of the Northern Rhone but with a new world flair that works. It should improve with a few years of cellaring. Ruby in color, purple at the core. The nose has black raspberries, black olives and a nice minerality lurking in the backround. On the palate, this is softer in texture. Nice black raspberry fruit, slight black pepper and underlying char. Slight tannins that come out more with air. Good finish. This needs heartier foods but has the acidity to work well them.
