title: Charles Smith 2009 Stoneridge Vineyard Viognier (Columbia Valley (WA))
description: A Burgundian take on Viognier, barrel fermented in 30% new French oak, put through M-L, and aged 18 months in barrel. Predictably dark and smooth, with a rich mix of soft, ripe stone fruit and barrel flavors. It's a bold style, showing plenty of toast and oak, but also concentrated and peachy, with lemon verbena, Key lime and a hint of honey.
variety: Viognier
designation: Stoneridge Vineyard
