The 2021 skin contact Viognier presents a unique profile. It exudes aromas of ripe apricot and jasmine, with undertones of dried herbs. On the palate, its texture is rich and textured, thanks to the extended skin contact, offering flavors of stone fruits, honeyed notes, and a subtle hint of tannin. The wine has a good balance between its vibrant acidity and the weight from the skin contact, leading to a lingering finish with a delightful interplay of fruit and savory elements. Overall, it's intriguing and sophisticated. Pairs well with complex salads and know it all Uncles.  
Nine days on the skins may sound like a Quentin Tarantino flick, but it is the secret to this Willy Wonka-esque Viognier. The wine smells like orange-flavored chewable vitamins, chalkboard dust and honeysuckle. Leathery tannins back not-quite-ripe quince, blood orange and toasted filbert flavors.  Michael Alberty 92 Points Wine Enthusiast
