Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

We are discovering that Viognier is exceptionally well suited to the Esperanza Vineyard in Clarksburg. This is our second vintage of Viognier produced from that vineyard, and we are extremely pleased with the results.

We harvest this grape at a high level of flavor maturity. The wine is fermented cold in stainless steel and sees a very small amount of French oak. By bottling in early March we capture the fresh fermentation aromas and attractive varietal character. Our Viognier is a highly aromatic wine with bright notes of citrus peel, orange blossom and peaches.

Echelon Viognier pairs well with summer dishes such as grilled sea bass with oregano and tomatoes, caramelized scallops over baby lettuce, Swiss chard raviolis, grilled polenta, roasted eggplant with garlic, and grilled chicken with herbs. The wine also makes a wonderful aperitif. -Stephen R. Dooley, Consulting Winemaker
