2004 Ripken Late Harvest Viognier

$24.00

Quantity:

This lush exotic example of Viognier was harvested at 36 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 16.5% by weight.

The 2004 growing season experienced a very early, warm spring followed by very moderate summer conditions. Early September brought some heat spikes around Labor Day, and then temperatures decreased to allow for extra hang time. Crop size for these vineyards was extremely low.
