Saturday, September 29, 2018 - The 6th Quinquennial Wine and Food Extravaganza (New Jersey, USA): Ridge usually co-ferments their Viognier and Syrah from the Lytton Estate to make a Cote-Rotie style wine but this vintage the Syrah under-produced and they made this wine with the extra Viognier. It is ever so lightly sweet, but this was pretty much overpowered by the various more weighty dessert wines. This probably works better as an aperitif with its lightly floral notes. On its own it was just fine but it got lost in this flight.
