Peay Estate Viognier Sonoma Coast 2020

Cool-climate white Rhône at its finest. The Peay Estate Viognier is a remarkable expression of the West Sonoma Coast’s linear, precise style — a world away from the heavy, over-perfumed Viogniers that can dominate warmer regions.

The nose features pretty, high-toned floral notes of linden and lilies with lemon thyme herb. On the palate, those aromas are consistent and focused, adding chalk and lemongrass. The wine is quite direct, with high acidity, real backbone, and genuine energy — a Viognier that rewards attention.
