Jaffurs Late Harvest Viognier Bien Nacido Vineyard 2017 375ml / Half-Bottle

Jaffurs Late Harvest Viognier Bien Nacido Vineyard 2017 375ml / Half-Bottle

A classic Jaffurs Viognier, from the cool-climate Bien Nacido Vineyard. Floral aromatics, with pineapple and mineral notes, this wine fleshes out on the palate with juicy nectarine and focused acidity. 60% stainless-steel aging provides vibrancy and tension, with the balance in neutral oak, lending texture and developed aromatics.

Critical Acclaim

91 Vinous

The 2017 Viognier Bien Nacido Vineyard offers lovely complexity and nuance, with a touch of neutral oak character that adds frames apricot and peach Viognier fruit. Layered, vivid and beautiful, the 2017 is gorgeous.

The 2017 Viognier Bien Nacido Vineyard was brought up a mix of stainless steel and neutral oak. It offers a ripe, sexy, Condrieu-like bouquet of orange marmalade, flower oil, and honeyed peach to go with a juicy, vibrant style on the palate. Viognier is always a rich, opulent variety, yet this wine pairs these elements with good acidity and a balanced, refreshing style. As with the Grenache Blanc, it's going to be incredibly versatile on the dinner table.
