2002 Ripken Vineyard Late Harvest Viognier

Located in the historic appellation of Lodi, the Ripken Vineyard produces an ultra-ripe late harvest Viognier. The warm weather allows us to achieve the Brix we want, while the delta breezes keep it cool at night, which allows us to get plenty of “hang time”.

Comments:	This lush exotic example of Viognier was harvested at 32 degrees Brix with just a hint of noble rot. The bouquet is reminiscent of ripe apricots with hints of peaches and honey. It has a long, smooth tropical aftertaste and is a perfect dessert all by itself. Residual sugar is 8.4% by weight.
