Late Harvest Viognier

2008 Paso Robles Viognier

The Rn Estate Late Harvest Viognier from the renowned Paso Robles region is an exquisite white wine that embodies the artistry of late harvest winemaking. This vintage captivates with its lush, honeyed sweetness, beautifully balancing the wine's natural acidity, which is bright and refreshing. The overall body is full and expressive, inviting the drinker to experience layers of ripe stone fruits such as apricots and peaches, accompanied by delicate floral notes that enhance its aromatic complexity. The finish is wonderfully smooth, showcasing a moderate level of fruit intensity that lingers, making it a delightful companion to creamy desserts or fragrant cheeses. This Late Harvest Viognier is indeed a remarkable testament to the unique terroir of Paso Robles, offering an indulgent experience that is both memorable and enchanting.

Paso Robles

California's fastest-growing wine region is quickly gaining an international reputation for its innovative and boundary-breaking wines. Located halfway between LA and San Francisco, the Paso Robles AVA in San Luis Obispo County has two main zones. The eastern side has a hot and sunny climate with deep, rich soils producing plush, fruity wines with sweet ripe flavors. To the west, the cooling influence of the Pacific brings a zingy backbone to rich Zinfandel and Rhône favorites like Syrah and Viognier. Italian varietals like Sangiovese and Nebbiolo are also favorites of Paso Robles grape growers and wine drinkers.
