Gemella's 2007 Viognier was grown in small sun-kissed and windswept vineyard blocks in the cooler southern end of the Napa Valley. One block is located in Oak Knoll, while the other vineyard block is located in Carneros and is grown by Larry Hyde. A classic rendition of the noble Rhone varietal. Wonderfully aromatic with a glorious hint of acidic minerality.
Tasting notes from Proprietor & Winemaker Jay Buoncristiani:
“The ultra-complex aroma profile of this wine exhibits layers of fresh white peaches, caramelized apricots, honeysuckle, orange blossom, subtle vanilla, and sweet spices. Flavors on the palate mirror white stone fruits, minerals, and exotic spices with a full body, vibrant acidity, and a long lingering finish.”
