Golden Pearl

2007 Washington Viognier

The Palouse Golden Pearl is a delightful Viognier from Washington that beautifully showcases the varietal's aromatic prowess. With its pale straw color, this wine exudes fragrant notes of apricot, peach, and white flowers, inviting you to take a sip. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, delivering a harmonious balance between vibrant acidity and lush fruit intensity, making it exceptionally refreshing. The wine's mild dryness complements its juicy fruit character, while a subtle hint of minerality adds depth to the overall experience. This well-crafted vintage from 2007 reflects the unique terroir of the region, presenting a charmingly elegant choice for any occasion.

Region:

Washington

With 18 recognized AVAs, Washington is the second-largest wine-producing state in the United States. Most of these AVAs are located in the east, centered around the valleys of Walla Walla, the Columbia River and Yakima. The grape varieties that thrive here are numerous: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling and Pinot Gris all continue to make increasingly compelling wines. Washington wines thrive in dry, semi-arid conditions far from the Pacific Ocean and are protected from the Pacific Northwest rain shadow by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Washington owes its unique terroir to the historic Missoula Floods, which swept through the region 10,000 years ago, stripping away the earth and replacing it with sandy soils from modern-day Utah, Idaho and Montana.
