2016 Drifter
100% Viognier – Terra Mia Vineyard, Willow Creek District, Paso Robles
This is the second vintage of our Viognier, Drifter. The nose is very fragrant and begins with an explosion of tropical fruits: guava, passion fruit, apricots and fresh white peaches that mingle with honeysuckle and subtle notes of wild flowers. Crisp and fresh on the front of the palate, the wine offers a great balance of tropical fruit notes – pineapple, passion fruit, cantaloupe, lemon zest – and a crisp mineral-driven finish with a wonderful dash of acidity. Extremely refreshing and just begging to be drank! 75 cases produced – Drink Now!
Suggested Food Pairings:
This wine goes surprisingly well with a wide variety of Asian inspired dishes and flavors, seafood and is a great choice for aged hard cheeses. Let’s not forget about enjoying this bay boy by itself on a hot summer day by the pool or on the patio!
