Oh my goodness, Kobayashi - now I get it. Why WeatherEye Vineyard, on the wild, high-altitude, north-facing, untamed side of the Red Mountain AVA, is so special. Why a Viognier picked at 25 Brix but 3.21 pH can show both the opulence required to showcase the essence of the varietal but also the acid necessary to slice through it. Why this is the next frontier of Washington wine. Why nothing that came before from the state smells or tastes quite like this does. Why you have invested so heavily in this desolate mountaintop. I have made Washington State the cri du coeur of my wine devotion since I first started studying and writing about the grape, because I saw the potential of the area, because I believed in what select producers were doing there...this, more than any words I can write, explains why. Keep going.
