Friday, October 21, 2022 - I do love this wine. We also have some Judge vineyard from the same vintage but not up to this level. I think the winemaker mentioned that he started adding viognier in later vintages but I wouldn't be surprised if (judging by the nose) this had some too.
Nose of mineral bath salts, chocolate orange, caramel and Play-doh. Generous mouth of carbon paper, dried leaves and blueberry extract. Long finish of aniseed and woodshed. Excellent pairing with ramp-marinated steak.
