Discover the radiant charm of Stags' Leap Viognier 2023, a wine that perfectly embodies the essence of Napa Valley's 2023 vintage. This elegant Viognier offers a delightful balance of vibrant acidity, refined aromatics, and a crisp, refreshing palate that invites sip after sip.
Tasting Notes
This Viognier greets the eye with a delicate straw hue, flecked with shimmering lemon-yellow highlights. The nose is a fragrant bouquet of honeysuckle, elderflower, and wet stone minerality, complemented by fresh green apple, lime zest, candied white peach, and a hint of freshly cut hay. On the palate, the wine is light to medium-bodied with a clean, linear mouthfeel and crisp, mouthwatering acidity. Juicy flavors of white peach, tangy lime, and Granny Smith apple mingle with subtle notes of Marcona almonds and a touch of white pepper, leading to a long, spiced finish. Bright, fresh, and lively, this Viognier is as enchanting as a wildflower field in full bloom.
Vintage Excellence
The 2023 growing season in Napa Valley was marked by mild weather and one of the longest growing periods in recent memory. Above-average crop yields and extended hang time resulted in grapes of exceptional purity and ripeness. Winter and spring rains replenished reservoirs and nourished the soils, while the temperate summer ensured even ripening, yielding a wine of remarkable balance and finesse.
Vineyard Origins
Sourced from select vineyards in the Carneros and Oak Knoll AVAs, this Viognier benefits from the unique microclimates of southern Napa Valley. The cool marine fog preserves the natural acidity, while ample sunlight ensures optimal ripeness. These cooler vineyard sites are ideal for growing Viognier, enhancing the wine’s flavor complexity and aromatic elegance.
Pairing Suggestions
Perfectly quaffable on its own, this Viognier also shines as a companion to lighter fare. Pair it with fresh seafood, creamy cheeses, charcuterie boards, or vibrant salads. Its bright acidity and aromatic complexity make it a versatile choice for any occasion.
Indulge in the freshness and finesse of Stags' Leap Viognier 2023, a wine that captures the beauty of its vintage and the essence of Napa Valley’s finest terroirs.
