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.

California's Central Coast might be a bit quieter than Napa or Sonoma to the north, but this lesser-known region produces many world-class wines. Enjoying incredible terroir along its vast 280-mile stretch—from San Francisco Bay to Santa Barbara—Central Coast wines are increasingly in demand. Its position between the Pacific Coast Ranges and the Southern Coast Ranges is key to its quality, with many cool-climate AVAs offering elegant Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and Merlot. In the hotter parts of the Central Coast, away from the coastal fogs and cold mountain slopes, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre are exceptional.
