About This Wine


Aromatherapy

Viognier

Aromatherapy wines are all about expressive notes that jump out of the glass. It’s why this Viognier from Lake County (just north of Napa) is such a good find. We love the grape for the subtle tree fruits and explosive floral nose. White flowers, jasmine, and wet stone mingle and add a fun complexity to the wine. Fun fact: Viognier almost went extinct in the 1960s until winemakers realized how much it added to their blends. Today it’s thriving, and we are thankful we can enjoy a beautiful wine like the Aromatherapy. The wine is great on its own but shines with a Caprese salad, Thai curry, and buttery cheeses. Judges love it too! It has taken home a Gold Medal from the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and a Silver Medal from the 2019 Sommelier Challenge.

Wine Region


Lake County

It might be called Lake County, but it is actually volcanoes that give this rugged northern California region its distinct terroir. Part of the North Coast AVA, Lake County lies just north of Napa. Ancient, mineral-rich soils help deliver bold but impressively elegant reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Zinfandel, and whites like Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The vines benefit from the maritime conditions around Clear Lake—California's largest body of fresh water. Its influence brings low nighttime temperatures to balance the hot days, slowing the grapes' ripening and producing wines with intensely concentrated flavors.

  • A figure representing the White Flowers tasting note. White Flowers
  • A figure representing the Mineral tasting note. Mineral

We get strong fruit flavors: lemon, white peach, and just a hint of pear, but we also love the aromas of white flower and wet stone. We suggest pairing this with foods that have a creamy texture and are accented with saffron, ginger, or coconut.
