2006 Favia Suize Viognier, Amador

Our first white wine ever offered, this Viognier captures many of the characteristics we love about California white wine. Its deep, ripe fruit aromas and flavors are backed up with a vibrant acidity and density that is impressive. Apricot, dried fruits, white flowers, ocean air and orange blossom reach out from the glass. As you taste the wine, a seemingly infinite number of layers of flavor unfold: citrus peel, lemon meringue, lychee and wet stones come to mind. The wine is named Suize, after Marie Suize, a female prospector who looked for gold around Sutter Creek during the California gold rush. Her tireless spirit and dogged determination remind us of our good friend Ann Kraemer, from whose vineyard these grapes come. This wine is not produced every year, and is offered this vintage in the minute quantity of 40 cases. By offering a maximum of 2 bottles, we hope to share this wine with as many people as possible.
